The announcement became public on November 10, 2026, through [The layoff announcement, posted Tuesday, Nov. 10, on Iowa's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/) website. At [Metaintro](https://www.metaintro.com), we track layoffs, store closures and return-to-office mandates in our [layoffs tracker](https://www.metaintro.com/layoffs). ## Which Staff and Locations Are Affected? The affected work is identified in the company's notification: [The layoffs will affect support staff in the bank's consumer banking and lending division](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). That description places the announcement within a particular division and type of work, rather than presenting it as a change across every part of the employer. The location is the [Jordan Creek campus in West Des Moines](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). For employees reviewing their own situation, the work location and division are useful details to compare with their individual notification. Keep the written notice alongside employment documents so that the stated role, location and separation arrangements are easy to find. The campus also features in the bank's earlier local office changes: [Wells Fargo sold its extensive downtown Des Moines office complex in 2025, transferring most of its workers there to the Jordan Creek facility](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). That office move provides context for the location named in the latest announcement. ## When Will the Jobs End and What Support Is Available? The announced separation timing is [24 employees will lose their positions on Jan. 9](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). The public notification preceded that date, with the details recorded in [the WARN letter the company submitted to Iowa Workforce Development on Tuesday](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). Support is part of the company's stated response. In that letter, [Wells Fargo said it would provide the affected employees with severance pay and career transition support through the human resources firm LHH](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). For an affected worker, the next administrative task is to obtain the individual terms in writing. Ask how separation paperwork, pay arrangements and transition services fit together. Keep copies of communications and prepare questions before discussing the documents, especially where a signature or response deadline is involved. The promised [severance pay and career transition support](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/) are distinct parts of the transition. Review the financial paperwork separately from the practical job-search assistance, and ask for instructions on accessing each. ## What Business Context Surrounds the Cuts? The bank's leadership has discussed technology and staffing more broadly: [Wells Fargo executives have said application of artificial intelligence will reduce the bank's headcount](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). That is broader workforce context, separate from the division and location identified in this notice. The technology investment was also discussed with investors. [CEO Charlie Scharf told investors in the bank's Oct. 13 earnings call that Wells Fargo is "devoting significant management time and resources" to building its AI capabilities](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). Another part of the local business context concerns mortgage lending: [Wells Fargo, whose home mortgage division is heavily concentrated in the Des Moines metro, was the nation's largest mortgage lender as recently as 2019](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). The report describes the subsequent shift this way: [But it has retrenched amid higher interest rates and regulatory pressure](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). For job seekers, the practical focus remains the individual employment notice. Use that document to establish your own timeline and prepare a clear description of your responsibilities, accomplishments and transferable skills. ## How Does This Fit Into the Local Layoff Timeline? The latest notice is [the bank's 17th round of announced job cuts since February](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). It follows [an announced staff cut of 86 on Oct. 27](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/), described as [the bank's largest single Des Moines metro layoff since February 2019, according to WARN records](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). The longer local record is substantial: [Wells Fargo has cut 1,999 positions in 114 announced rounds of layoffs in the metro since April 2022](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). The annual comparison is [The bank has eliminated 484 jobs in the metro this year; it laid off 501 in 2025](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/money/business/2026/11/13/wells-fargo-layoffs-west-des-moines-jordan-creek/92763402007/). These earlier announcements provide a timeline around the current notice. For a worker preparing applications, keep your own employment dates and job scope precise rather than relying on a broad description of organizational change. ## Has Wells Fargo Cut Jobs Before? Earlier coverage published on July 13, 2025, described a separate workforce reduction in another location: [Wells Fargo slashes about 400 jobs in 2 months in India](https://www.business-standard.com/companies/news/wells-fargo-s-india-tech-centre-cuts-about-400-jobs-more-likely-to-follow-125071300516_1.html). That report also described the employer's earlier footprint: [Wells Fargo had three centres in India with Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai till last year, employing about 37,000 people](https://www.business-standard.com/companies/news/wells-fargo-s-india-tech-centre-cuts-about-400-jobs-more-likely-to-follow-125071300516_1.html). This is historical context for a separate workforce event, not the location or staffing scope of the current notice. ## What Should Affected Workers Do Next? - **Collect your documents.** Save your employment notice, pay records and benefits information in a secure personal folder. Retain only material you are authorized to keep, and exclude confidential business or customer information. - **Review separation terms.** Read the paperwork carefully and mark anything that needs clarification. Ask for written answers about payment timing, benefits and obligations before signing. - **Prepare your resume.** Describe your responsibilities and results in clear language. Tailor the experience you highlight to the requirements of each role rather than sending an unchanged application everywhere. - **Use transition assistance.** Ask how to access available career services and what preparation to bring. Arrive with a draft resume, target roles and questions about interviews or applications. - **Plan your finances.** Review essential expenses and available savings. Contact relevant providers about payment arrangements and consult official guidance about benefits eligibility. ## Related Articles - [MEGA Cuts 20% of Staff as It Shifts Toward AI Inference Products](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/mega-layoffs-20-percent-2026) - [MW Components Plans Logansport Facility Closure Affecting Approximately 95 Employees](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/mw-components-store-closures-95-employees-2026) - [American Sale To Close All Stores After Ownership Deal Falls Through](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/american-sale-store-closures-2026) - [Tencent Says Talk of 50% Layoffs Is False, but Half Its Staff May Shift to New AI Work](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/tencent-denies-layoffs-staff-shift-ai) ## People Also Asked ### Q: How many jobs is Wells Fargo cutting?
