Dear Long Beach Chamber Member:

Hope you are all doing well and staying safe.

As one of Long Beach’s leading financial services institution, we understand how important our business operations are to the community and overall economy. As related to small businesses, the affects from COVID-19 can have a huge impact. I wanted to share some information about what Wells Fargo is doing to assist our small business customers and share tips that may be helpful to your audience:

We at Wells Fargo are committed to helping our small business customers experiencing hardships, including those resulting from the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). One piece of guidance for our small business customers currently impacted by issues relating to COVID-19 is to reach out to their banker or see what resources your bank is offering at this time, such as our COVID-19 information center.

We recognize that each business owner’s situation is unique so it’s important we in the financial sector help them determine the best solutions for their needs. Wells Fargo small business customers impacted by issues relating to COVID-19 can call 1-800-219-9739 to speak with a trained specialist to discuss options available to them.

In addition, business owners can take a look at some of the below resources to think about how they can approach difficult situations like this, including how to think about credit and business continuity:
