Wells Fargo Mortgage Rates

Wells Fargo reported record profits yesterday largely from their mortgage banking operations. The bank received $190 billion in mortgage applications in the quarter, a large percentage of the applications came in the month of March when mortgage interest rates started to drop.

Based on their record profit we figured we would take a look at their mortgage rates to see how competitive their rates are. Their mortgage rates aren't the lowest rates around, but they are very competitive for a large bank.

The national average APR for a 30-year fixed conforming loan is 4.985 percent¹, Wells Fargo's rate on a 30-year fixed conforming loan is 5.086 percent².
