As Gas Prices Rise, Wells Fargo Offers Convenient Ways for Summer Travelers to Manage Their Finances

Whether you're planning to climb Mount Rainier or catch a Broadway show this summer, Wells Fargo online and mobile banking services, and an extended ATM network, can help you stay on top of your finances. Wells Fargo & Company WFC offers a reminder of services and tools to help travelers manage their finances – especially at this time when budgets can be strained by rising gas prices. "Gasoline prices have soared more than 25 percent over the past year and are expected to rise further in coming months,” said Mark Vitner, senior economist, Wells Fargo. “With gasoline prices rising so much more than incomes, consumers are having to find ways to cut back on other purchases. One area where consumers are cutting back is by curbing discretionary spending. People are still traveling but they are tending to be a little more frugal, maybe dining out at less expensive restaurants or shopping around for specials."
