Key facts
- When it opens: Wells Fargo says Corporate & Investment Banking summer 2028 internships open in January 2027. Some postings come earlier: a summer 2028 Houston investment banking posting carries an end date of Dec 14, 2026. For summer 2027, video invites were going out by Jan 5, 2026.3,4,6

- How many to apply to: You apply separately to each job opening. You cannot re-apply to the same opening, and withdrawing or being declined also shuts you out of it.1

- Who it is for: The 2028 Houston posting asks for a bachelor's degree with expected graduation in December 2028 or May/June 2029, and US work authorization without visa sponsorship now or in the future.4
- The internship: A 10-week summer analyst program aligned to an industry coverage or product group. The 2028 Houston posting lists pay of $2,115 a week.4
- Next step: A recorded video interview, which the firm calls an On-Demand Screen and applicants call HireVue. A third-party vendor emails the link. Investment banking applicants have had four behavioral questions.1,5,7

What the Wells Fargo online application looks like
Find the posting for your group and city
Wells Fargo lists its summer 2028 Corporate & Investment Banking internships to open in January 2027, while non-CIB summer 2027 internships opened in June and July 2026. Postings are by city and group: the summer 2028 Houston investment banking posting is aligned to Energy & Power, with a Dec 14, 2026 end date, and warns it may come down early because of the volume of applicants.3,4
Create your account and fill in the form
You can autofill the form from your resume, which the firm encourages, use your last application, or apply manually. Early talent openings also require extra school and degree details. You then answer the application questions and the voluntary disclosures for each application. A photo of a resume is not accepted.1,2
Check it before you submit
After you submit, you cannot change the application, the resume or the attachments, and you cannot delete a resume from the system. You cannot re-apply to the same opening, including after withdrawing or being declined, so answer every question accurately the first time.1
Straight after you submit
An email confirms Wells Fargo received the application, and its status shows under Candidate Home. A recruiter or hiring manager then reviews it. Where the role needs an On-Demand Screen, the third-party vendor emails you the link; follow it quickly. Investment banking video invites go out in batches over days or weeks, not all at once.1,2,5,6
Your own words only
Wells Fargo requires you to represent your own experiences in the recruiting process, prohibits third-party recordings unless it authorizes them, and asks you to be ready to support your education and employment details in a verification.4
What the form asks
- Account Required
- Created on wellsfargojobs.com. You use it to apply and to check each application under Candidate Home.
- Resume Encouraged
- Autofill with Resume fills your contact details and experience; check every field it fills, because some may not parse correctly.
- School and degree Required
- Early talent openings need extra details about at least one degree.
- Application questions Required
- Answered by hand on each application, with the voluntary disclosures.
- Cover letter, transcript Check the form
- Treat a cover letter as optional and have a transcript ready in case the form or a verification asks.
The account, resume, school details and questions come from Wells Fargo's FAQ; the cover letter and transcript line is our best reading. Check each field when you open the form.1,4
Wells Fargo resume checklist
- One page, saved as a PDF you can upload; a photo of a resume is not accepted.
- Education first while you are a student: school, degree written out, expected graduation month and year (December 2028 or May/June 2029 for summer 2028).
- Cumulative GPA as 3.62/4.00; add a major GPA if it is higher.
- Experience newest first, each bullet starting with a verb and saying what you did and what came of it.
- Numbers where you have them: companies covered, dollars, team size, deadlines.
- Formatting the autofill can read: plain section headings and one date format, so the parsed fields match.
- Leadership roles over memberships.
- Only stocks, deals and models you can explain out loud in the video interview or the superday.
- Skills and interests last, with interests you could talk about for a minute.
What to put on it
Your resume and the school details carry the application, and the video interview that follows asks why Wells Fargo and for behavioral stories from it. While you are a student, Education goes first. The examples below are Intervyo rewrites of common resume lines, not questions from the form.1,5,11
- Education: School, degree, expected graduation month and year, and GPA. First on the page while you are a student.
- Experience: Internships and jobs, newest first, with a few bullets each that say what you did and what came of it.
- Leadership and activities: Clubs, teams and roles where you ran something, not only memberships.
- Skills and interests: Languages, software and a few real interests, last on the page.
Example questions and how to answer them
Experience bullet"Rewrite this bullet: "Helped with research on companies in the energy sector.""4,11
- 1Start with a verb for what you did yourself: built, compared, wrote.
- 2Name the work exactly: a comps table, a credit memo, an industry overview.
- 3Add scale in numbers: how many companies, what size, what deadline.
- 4End with what it was used for.
Tip: The 2028 Houston posting asks for strong analytical skills with high attention to detail, and its group work includes company and industry research and client materials. Show both in the bullet, with numbers.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
Written by Intervyo as an example. Built a trading comps table of 14 midstream companies and wrote a 3-page industry overview for a regional wealth manager's energy allocation review; the table was used in the client's quarterly meeting.
Education line"Rewrite this education line: "UNC, Business, 3.6, 2029""4,11,12
- 1University and location on the first line.
- 2Degree written out, with the expected graduation month and year.
- 3GPA to two decimals with the scale, always included.
- 4An optional line for relevant coursework or honors.
Tip: Summer 2028 analysts graduate in December 2028 or May/June 2029, so most will show a 2029 date. Wells Fargo lists strong academic achievement and gives no GPA figure on the posting, so give your cumulative GPA and add a major GPA if it is higher.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Kenan-Flagler Business School, Chapel Hill, NC Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, expected May 2029. GPA: 3.62/4.00 Relevant coursework: Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance, Statistics
Leadership and activities"Rewrite this activity: "Member, Investment Club.""10,13,11
- 1Lead with a role and the size of what you ran.
- 2Say what you did, not what the club did.
- 3Give one number for scale.
- 4Show a result or a decision your work led to.
Tip: An investment club on the resume has led to an unexpected stock pitch at a Wells Fargo superday. Only list a stock you can pitch for two minutes.
Example answer, written by Intervyo (not a real candidate)
Written by Intervyo as an example. Sector Lead, Energy, Student Investment Club (60 members): led a team of 4 analysts covering 6 utilities and pipelines, and pitched a long position the club bought for $5K of its $80K fund.
From resume to video interview"Why Wells Fargo?"5
- 1Start with what you want to do: the group, its clients and the work.
- 2Give one specific reason for Wells Fargo: a group, a deal, a person you spoke with.
- 3Link it to a line on your resume that shows you have started already.
- 4Close on what you would bring in the 10 weeks.
Tip: This has opened the investment banking video interview, followed by STAR behavioral questions. Order your resume so the stories you want to tell come first.

How long to hear back after the online application
You get an email confirmation, then a recruiter or hiring manager reviews the application. In investment banking the video interview comes next, sent in batches, and the firm keeps you informed of next steps and timing.1,2,5,6
Jan 2025 (summer 2026)
Investment banking, US
The thread opened on Jan 10, 2025 with video invites already out, and more invites arrived on Jan 23. One invite set the first interview cycle deadline as Jan 26, with the next cycle not until April.5
Jan 2025 (summer 2026)
Investment banking, Charlotte
A video interview of 4 fairly basic behavioral questions; the process took less than a month.7
Mar 2025 (summer 2026)
Markets, US
A HackerRank test for Markets arrived on Mar 3, 2025, after the video interview; it covered probability, general market questions such as the yield curve, and basic trading.5
Jan 2026 (summer 2027)
Investment banking, US
The thread opened on Jan 5, 2026 as video invites came out. One applicant was asked by text to choose Charlotte or New York, then got the video invite; the link gave about five days.6
Jan 2026 (summer 2027)
Investment banking, New York
Video interview, then a superday of three 30-minute interviews on Zoom and an offer, all in less than a month.9
Jan to Feb 2026 (summer 2027)
Investment banking, US
Many went straight from the video interview to a superday, in waves by school. The first superdays ran by Jan 23, and New York offers came by phone the same day; a recruiter put the next superdays in mid-February, in person or virtual.6
Your status is always under Candidate Home, where recruiter names and contact details are not shown, so finish the video interview well before its link expires.1,6
Best guessIn the January window, expect the video invite within days to two weeks of applying if you clear the review, and give it a day, not the whole window. If two weeks pass with nothing, check Candidate Home and keep applying elsewhere.

Can you edit a Wells Fargo application after submitting?

Does Wells Fargo sponsor visas for summer analysts?
Not on the 2028 Houston investment banking posting, which considers only candidates authorized to work in the US who do not need visa sponsorship now or in the future. Check the posting for your group and city.4
