Wells Fargo plans to rebrand all branches by fall.
The Mid-Altantic region that consists of Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C, includes 404 Wachovia branches that were acquired by Wells as part of its December 2008 purchase of the Charlotte bank.
The bank’s hiring plans call for adding 92 full-time and part-time employees at Wachovia branches.
The bank, is seeking tellers, personal bankers, branch managers and private bankers, who work with more affluent customers.
Since the merger, Wells Fargo has hired 600 employees for its banks in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Last month, JPMorgan Chase & Co also said it plans to add at least 1,000 new branches in the next three years and could add up to 2,000 within five years.
