Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
enterprise legacy
WELLSFARGO-4196 belongs to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., one of the largest banks in the United States.
What it's used for
- Enterprise networking for the bank: corporate offices, data centers, branch connectivity, and the systems behind its consumer and commercial banking services.
- Supporting Wells Fargo's own online and mobile banking infrastructure.
Notable
- This is corporate financial-institution address space. Traffic from it represents bank systems and employees, not customers of the bank.
- The allocation is substantial (roughly 65,000 addresses), consistent with a large bank that operates its own nationwide network.
- Banks of this size typically hold several AS numbers, so AS4196 represents only part of Wells Fargo's overall routing presence.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
