How your business can respond to today's environment

  • Take contactless card payments curbside, in store, online, by phone, or on the go during deliveries or service calls
  • Help overcome cash flow challenges by adopting new payment technologies that keep sales flowing, and offer you a way to get your funds as soon as the next business day
  • Make it easier for customers to pay using digital wallets like Apple Pay® since COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of digital wallets. This also reduces the need for your staff to handle a physical card or cash
  • Look for point-of-sale solutions equipped with tools to help you manage your business. Build menus, issue invoices, support item deliveries, email receipts, conduct marketing, monitor sales remotely, and more

Hear from our customers

“At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I had to close the doors of one of my locations because I didn't have a way to take a card payment from my customers, and still follow the social distancing guidelines.


Luckily, with the help of Wells Fargo, I was able to remain in business. They helped me set up Clover equipment to take orders and payments curbside and still follow social distancing guidelines.”

- Nikki Hung, owner, Griddle Mongolian Grill, Eastvale, CA

“Our retail wine business, Silverlake Wine, has never been so disrupted as it has by the onset of COVID-19. We searched for solutions to help us simultaneously offer our products online and provide a nimble platform to process a high volume of orders, all the while keeping our brand identity intact.


With Wells Fargo’s assistance we were able to seamlessly transition to an online platform that is intuitive, scalable, and reliable. Without it, there is no way we could meet and create demand for our wine, beer, and spirits. The addition of this quick tech has turned these uncertain times into times of economic prosperity and exponential growth for our company."

- April Langford, owner, Silverlake Wine
