Wells Fargo Business Banking for Growth Funding

Wells Fargo is one of the largest business lenders in America, but traditional bank loans require extensive documentation and take weeks to process. Your Wells Fargo transaction history already contains everything needed for funding decisions. Founderpath connects directly to this data.

Your Transaction History Is Your Application

Traditional Wells Fargo business loans require:

• Personal and business tax returns
• Financial statements
• Business plans
• Collateral documentation
• Weeks of underwriting

Founderpath requires:

• A secure connection to your Wells Fargo account
• 24-48 hours for a funding decision

Your deposits, payments, and balances tell the story of your business without the paperwork.
