The Board of Directors
Wells Fargo & Company
We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Registration Statement on
Form S-8 of Wells Fargo & Company (the "Company") relating to the Wells Fargo
Financial Thrift and Profit Sharing Plan of our report dated November 27, 2000,
with respect to the supplemental consolidated balance sheet of Wells Fargo &
Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
supplemental consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity
and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999 (the "supplemental consolidated financial
statements"), which report appears in the Company's Supplemental Annual Report
filed on November 30, 2000, on Form 8-K. Our report contains an explanatory
paragraph that states that the supplemental consolidated financial statements
give retroactive effect to the merger of the Company and First Security
Corporation on October 25, 2000, which has been accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests as described in Note 1 to the supplemental consolidated
financial statements.
