Now, thanks in part of the clout of its parent company, banking superpower Wells Fargo, the company operates through approximately 1,100 locations throughout the US, as well as in Canada and the Pacific Rim. The company hasn't strayed from its original intent, though, providing credit cards, personal loans, and real estate-secured loans to consumers. It originates indirect auto loans through more than 18,000 franchised dealers. To read the full description, subscribe now.
