MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - Wells Fargo Bank says it will close 15 loan offices in Wisconsin, as part of a national restructuring. Spokeswoman Diana Rodriguez says the firm no longer needs so many consumer lending facilities, because of its acquisition of Wachovia.

Almost 640 Wells Fargo loan offices will close nationally. Among the largest Wisconsin offices to shut down are those in Brookfield, Sheboygan, and Eau Claire. They’ll be closed in the next 2 months.
