Wells Fargo (WFC) is one of those reliable banks that Americans go to for all kinds of financial activities -- from basic checking and savings accounts to mortgages.
Motley Fool even touts Wells Fargo as a "forever" stock because it serves basic needs more than other banks. The site says, "Customers deposit money into accounts, and then Wells Fargo lends the money to other customers at a higher interest rate"-- which makes it a safer bet.
