The metro area’s largest bank is closing its Gordon Highway branch.

Wells Fargo is closing a south Augusta branch in June.

A letter to customers states that the branch office at 1751 Gordon Highway will close at noon June 10. The letter says customer accounts will not be affected, and it directs customers in need of branch-office services to visit Wells Fargo's Daniel Village office at 2803 Wrightsboro Road or the Peach Orchard office at 3115 Peach Orchard Road.

Customers also are asked to "take advantage of additional convenient ways to bank with us, including Wells Fargo Online banking and the Wells Fargo Mobile app," which can be found at www.wellsfargo.com/alwaysopen.

Those with safe deposit boxes will receive a separate letter, according to the notice dated March 6. Customers with questions are asked to call Wells Fargo District Manager Mark Tamasi at (706) 650-6651.

Wells Fargo is metro Augusta's largest bank by deposits according to the latest data by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The FDIC's June 2019 market share report lists the bank having 15 offices in the Augusta-Aiken area.

Wells Fargo closed its downtown Augusta office in 2016. The space on the first floor of Augusta's 699 Broad St. building had been a bank branch since the midrise was developed five decades ago as the headquarters for Georgia Railroad Bank, which was acquired by First Union in 1986. First Union merged with Wachovia in 2001, and Wells Fargo acquired Wachovia in 2008.

Wells Fargo closed its downtown Aiken branch on Laurens Street in 2018.
