WELLS Fargo is closing more than 35 bank locations within months - and customers are fuming.
The bank has announced it will be shutting up shop at two more branches, one in Chicago, Illinois, and the other in Forest Hills, New York.
In September, the institution closed 25 locations, while another 15 shut down in October.
As of November 18, they have closed an additional 21 branches and are expected to carry out four more shutdowns next month.
Many took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their concern over the string of closures.
"Damn. They closing the Wells Fargo on Grace Street," one user said.

"That’s kinda crazy to me."
Another weighed in: "I have been a Wells Fargo customer for twenty years.
"I will be closing all of my accounts now."
The bank closed the shutters on its store in Richmond, Virginia, on October 28 and its Charlottesville and Sheboygan, Wisconsin branches on November 1.

It comes after around 1,000 Wells Fargo branches closed in 2022, according to the Wells Fargo 2022 annual report.
The raft of closures was part of a $10 billion expense-reduction program that has seen almost 50,000 workers lose their jobs and a 6 percent reduction of branches.
Along with branch closures, there have been scores of bank failures across the States.
The U.S. Sun recently reported that Georgia, Florida, and Illinois are the three states with the highest number of failures between 2000 and 2023.
Illinois has had 69 closures and Florida has had 76 in that time, according to a report from MyeListingcom.
Georgia topped the list with 93 bank failures since the start of the millennium.
Banks are increasingly investing more in their online platforms, as more customers are opting for online banking.
As a result, fewer physical branches are needed.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Wells Fargo said: "Branches continue to play an important role in the way we serve our customers in combination with our online and mobile channels and ATMs.
"As customer preferences and transaction patterns change, so will our branches.

"For example, we may open new branches where we combine two older existing branches into one better situated location.
"All of this does not take away the importance of our customers and the communities we serve."
