Wells Fargo updates mobile app to allow Spanish language preference & donations to the HSF 

"On March 23, Wells Fargo issued a news release announcing Spanish-language functionality on the Wells Fargo mobile app for iPhone, Android and Windows phones. Customers with a preference for Spanish can now check account balances, make transfers between accounts, pay bills or friends, and make secure mobile deposits in their preferred language!

Wells Fargo is also very pleased to announce that they will donate $1 (up to $50,000) to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund for every customer who selects and maintains Spanish as their preferred language preference from April 1 to April 30. They've had a longstanding and very successful relationship with the HSF, and since 2003 they've committed $12.7 million to them to help Latino families successfully complete higher education.
