Wells Fargo Closing Danbury Branch This Summer

DANBURY, CT — Wells Fargo is closing its 108 Mill Plain Road location this summer.

Also on the hit list is their branch at 950 Post Road in Darien.

The announcements were made this week and both branches are slated to be shuttered at noon on July 26, bank officials said.

"Wells Fargo made the difficult decision to close our Danbury Mill Plain and Darien bank branches," officials for the financial institution said in a statement released this week. "We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause, and customers can continue to bank with us at our other nearby locations."

The closest alternate location is the Danbury North Street Shopping Center branch on Padanaram Road, approximately 3.45 miles away from the doomed Danbury branch.

"Branches continue to play an important role in the way we serve our customers, and we continuously evaluate our branch network in light of changing customer needs, the increase in the use of digital banking, market factors, and economic trends," Wells Fargo officials said.

Wells Fargo Bank currently operates with 56 branches in 43 different cities and towns in Connecticut. The bank also has 4,543 additional locations in 36 states.
