"As the pioneer of Internet banking, we work very hard to maintain our momentum by listening to our customers and giving them the very best experience when they bank online or by mobile device," said Jim Smith, executive vice president at Wells Fargo Internet Services Group. "Our goal is to satisfy all of our customers' financial needs and help them succeed financially online and offline."

This is the 10th year Global Finance has named the World's Best Internet Bank. Winning banks have been selected based on strength of strategy for attracting and servicing online customers, success in getting clients to use web offerings, growth of online customers, breadth of product offerings, evidence of tangible benefits gained from Internet initiatives, and website design and functionality.

Wells Fargo Internet banking currently has more than 16 million active online customers. Wells Fargo's top ranking was based in part on the many tools it offers customers, including:
