Long-term Debt [Abstract]  
Long-term Debt

We issue long-term debt denominated in multiple currencies, predominantly in U.S. dollars. Our issuances have both fixed and floating interest rates. As a part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy, we often use derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. We also use derivatives to manage our exposure to foreign currency risk. As a result, the long-term debt presented below is primarily hedged in a fair value or cash flow hedge relationship. See Note 16 for further information on qualifying hedge contracts.

       Following is a summary of our long-term debt carrying values, reflecting unamortized debt discounts and premiums, and purchase accounting adjustments for debt assumed in the Wachovia acquisition, where applicable. The interest rates displayed represent the range of contractual rates in effect at December 31, 2012. These interest rates do not include the effects of any associated derivatives designated in a hedge accounting relationship.

  • On March 30, 2009, Wells Fargo issued $1.75 billion of 2.125% fixed senior unsecured notes and $1.75 billion of floating senior unsecured notes that matured on June 15, 2012. These notes were guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP) and were backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
  • A significant portion consists of long-term notes where the performance of the note is linked to an embedded equity, commodity, or currency index, or basket of indices accounted for separately from the note as a free-standing derivative. For information on embedded derivatives, see Note 16 – Free-standing derivatives. In addition, a major portion consists of zero coupon callable notes where interest is paid as part of the final redemption amount.
  • Represents junior subordinated debentures held by unconsolidated wholly owned trusts formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. See Note 8 for additional information on our trust preferred security structures.
  • Represents floating-rate extendible notes where holders of the notes may elect to extend the contractual maturity of all or a portion of the principal amount on a periodic basis. The maturity of the notes may not be extended beyond 2018.

The aggregate carrying value of long-term debt that matures (based on contractual payment dates) as of December 31, 2012, in each of the following five years and thereafter, is presented in the following table.

As part of our long-term and short-term borrowing arrangements, we are subject to various financial and operational covenants. Some of the agreements under which debt has been issued have provisions that may limit the merger or sale of certain subsidiary banks and the issuance of capital stock or convertible securities by certain subsidiary banks. At December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all the covenants.
