If I could give zero stars I would. The bankers at my branch know less than the people who answer the 1 -800 number, BUT sometimes you have to actually go into a branch for service like closing an account and getting a cashier's check, etc. EACH visit (and there have been multiple ones) a new detail is revealed, a new document is needed, a banker says "oh, well I didn't know that... learning every day". How about learning before you start (un)helping customers with incorrect information. Basically, put a T between W and F (WTF) and that is exactly the expression you will have when you step out of that bank. I closed my accounts and went to a credit union. Avoid it at all costs! They just want to open new accounts and send junk mail.

If you are thinking about banking with Wells Fargo I will save you some time to tell you not to because they are a bunch of crooks. They take money that is not theirs. They reversed a credit from Geico all the way from December 5th and waited till March to take over $400 out of my account. These people are really fishy and the people from their claims department has horible attitude. Why did they wait 3 months to take my money. When I get my money from SSI switched over to my other bank I will no longer be a Wells Fargo customer. Such poor customer service. Why don't they get a job they are actually good at and customer service is not it. I am a young single mom with autism. I have an 8-month-old baby boy and Wells Fargo is taking advantage of me. Not cool. I can have an attitude as well. Worse bank ever.

We have a personal guardianship for my husband's uncle. My husband is his POA too. WF approved the POA over a year before we got the guardianship. My husband's name has been on the account as co-owner, too. As soon as the Guardianship paperwork was submitted, WF froze all of his uncle's accounts. We are into week 2 with nothing resolved. Bills for his care that are on autopay are bouncing. We have no choice but to close the accounts and we are having to get permission from WF to do so. My husband has been treated like a criminal. It has been a nightmare. If you need to get a Guardianship or Conservatorship for a loved one, stay away from this bank. If you already have an account with WF, close it and move to another bank before you apply for Guardianship. My husband's uncle has been a customer of this bank for over 50 years, it means nothing.

Wells Fargo has worse customer service. My parents had fraud with their account. I went to the branch because we never received bills. I only kept getting a letter stating they owe this amount and I didn't know why it was this amount. Since there was fraud I need clarification. So when I got on the phone with a representative and asked how much this bill was a month it was like pulling teeth to get the amount of the monthly bill... THat is when I realized that the amount that is owed is because they have not been getting a bill every month. So the representative at the bank said he (Alexander) said he would have the resolution department to give me a call....Since the card department was not able to do anything but to collect the entire balance. Which not getting a bill monthly was on Wells Fargo to setup the account up as mobile and the account was never set up for mobile.
So I got a call from Wells Fargo on Thursday and soon as I answered the phone they would hang up. That happened about 2 more times. So I went back to the branch. So I have a representative name Anthony calling me on the phone., Indicates he see no notes given me authorization on these account which my mother did when we were in the branch on Saturday 7th and got added. So Anthony states there is no authorization so I have to call my father who is on hospice which really upset me because I can't do everyone job. Wells Fargo dropped the ball again and all I get is representatives on the phone telling me what they can't do and Anthony said he gave 30 days to discuss my parents' account. Then I get a Christina ** on the phone and I shared that my father is on hospice. At no time did she say prior that he would have to stay on the phone which is unacceptable in his conditions. The empathy at Wells Fargo is the worst.
I tell anyone please take your business elsewhere. When issues arise they do not know how to handle them. They just keep passing you from one person to the other...I asked to speak with a supervisor. I have been on the phone with Wells Fargo for an hour. I haven't heard one representative to try to come up with a resolution. Only what they can't do. The customer service need training all around. Not one representative was able to meet our needs or get my satisfactory.

In short daughter was a victim of crime through Apple App which led to her losing all her money. During Wells Fargo supposed investigation we were lied to the entire process. Sent police report multiple times and even faxed from Branch Manager's office. Then we were told they don't even look at police reports?!?! Corporate office listened to recorded conversations and agreed we were lied to!! They still denied claim and I am wondering who is committing the fraud!!

Worst customer service ever!! After being a Wells Fargo for many, many years, they would not credit my over payment of $2000.00 to my credit card. I wanted to transfer the money to another account that I had intentionally wanted to transfer to. Their answer is, "You made the mistake you will have to wait 10 days to get your money back." Great!!! When you use your credit card, the charge is instantly on there the next day, but if you make a mistake you have to wait 10 days to get your money back, so bogus. They call it customer service. I will now have to transfer all my pensions to another bank.

The employees at the Valley City, ND branch are incredibly nice but the supervisor, (Paul **), is condescending and arrogant. He talked down to one of the employees right in front of me and my husband and embarrassed her for absolutely no reason. He kept cutting her off when she was trying to help me and would lecture her about not referring me to a banker when I already declined. She was an absolute delight but he made the whole experience awful. He more than tripled the time I had to spend in there because he kept interrupting her just so he could put her down, even though she was doing an excellent job.
I don’t know how that man ever became a supervisor. They should really look into how he treats his employees because it’s beyond appalling. Having to deal with him actually makes me want to avoid going in this bank. If it wasn’t for the other employees, I would switch banks but the tellers and bankers are so wonderful at this branch. Paul needs to go!

My experience with Wells Fargo regarding a Zelle dispute has been extremely frustrating and concerning. After reporting a problem with a Zelle transaction and requesting assistance, I expected a fair investigation and clear communication from my bank. Instead, my claim felt dismissed without transparency or adequate explanation. What is most alarming is that Wells Fargo cancelled my Zelle services and reported my phone number and email address without providing any clear reason or documentation for these actions. I was never given a proper explanation, timeline, or guidance on how or why this decision was made. Having banking services restricted without transparency raises serious concerns about how customers are treated when disputes arise.
Zelle is offered directly through Wells Fargo’s platform, yet when an issue occurred, responsibility appeared to be shifted away from the bank rather than handled with accountability. Customers should not be left without answers after reporting a financial concern, especially when actions are taken that impact their ability to use their own banking services. This experience has significantly reduced my trust in Wells Fargo’s customer protection and dispute resolution process. I strongly encourage others to understand the risks associated with Zelle transfers and the limited support they may receive if something goes wrong. I hope Wells Fargo improves its investigation procedures, communication, and transparency moving forward.

On December 15, 2025, I deposited cash into a Wells Fargo ATM, and $100 of my deposit was not credited to my account. I promptly filed a claim, but it was denied based solely on an internal ATM audit stating no loose or jammed cash was found. Over the past two months, I have made multiple calls, submitted a formal written complaint, and requested escalation. Although I was initially told further research would be conducted, the bank ultimately relied on the same audit findings without providing transaction logs, machine diagnostics, or confirmation of surveillance review. This experience has been frustrating due to the lack of transparency and meaningful reinvestigation. I hope Wells Fargo improves its ATM dispute review process and provides clearer documentation to customers when resolving claims.

Last year, my account experienced multiple fraudulent activities, including a withdrawal of $50,000 and other unauthorized transactions. Serious lapses in the bank’s security. Today, I called to resolve a relatively small issue, yet I spent approximately four hours on the phone and was transferred to the wrong department four times. Each transfer required me to repeat twice my situation from the beginning, which was extremely frustrating and unacceptable. Despite my repeated efforts, my issue remains unresolved. Worst bank ever!

There are accounts with NO access! I have 2 mortgages at Wells Fargo that are the equivalent of Schrödinger's Dog, they will give no access to, I can get statements of the past, but today I don't know if the account is alive or dead. If I want to find out I can drive 1.5h to town, schedule an appointment with a banker, give 2 forms of ID and then look at the bankers monitor over their shoulder... This qualifies as "easy to access accounts from anywhere" as stated on their website.

*BUYER BEWARE* Wells Fargo is not the company you think it is, With its recent moves to implement policies to pinch more money from your account WITHOUT NOTIFYING YOU IN ADVANCE, your money is much better with an organization that truly values, respects, and appreciates you. After more than a decade of being a loyal banking and mortgage customer with Wells Fargo, I closed all of my accounts and permanently severed my business and personal relationship with Wells Fargo for good.
The past few years, this account was sparsely used, mainly for a few local transactions. I was very careful to maintain the minimum balance of $500, but was surprised when checked the account for the 1st time in 6 months only to find the balance had decreased by 25% without explanation. I called their poorly staffed customer service only to find out I needed to go into the local branch.
While there, I was told Wells Fargo had implemented a new policy last year that "Raised" the minimum balance to $1500, apparently without so much of an email, text, or any formal means of communication. Its pathetic, and just another example of corporate greed and slick under-handed tactic eerily similar to the same behavior that it was heavily fined for and penalized by the Federal Government, just a few years ago. It only proves that they did not learn from past mistakes, and will do anything to get a few more bucks from its customer base. I would highly recommend avoiding this company at all cost.

If I had the option to give negative stars, I would. Wells Fargo has a very unusual "grace period' policy that I had not experienced with any other creditor. Despite my statement showing that I had made addition to monthly minimum, they still charged a late fee. The customer service team is not there to service customers. My experience was frustrating and unhelpful, and the issue was not resolved. I would never open any future accounts with Wells Fargo. This is something consumers should be very aware of. If you choose to bank with Wells Fargo, make absolutely sure your minimum payment is received by the exact due date, not a day -or even a minute-late. Tehir policies are unforgiving and not customer friendly.

Absolutely the worst bank I have ever dealt with. This place is a complete mess. I was a victim of identity theft, with at least two fraudulent Wells Fargo accounts opened in my name. When I called to report and close the accounts, I was transferred around seven times before reaching anyone who could even confirm the fraudulent accounts existed. I then spent over two hours on hold trying to reach the fraud department and still did not get through. I called back using a different number and, after repeatedly expressing my frustration, one agent finally helped route me to someone who could cancel the credit card account. Even then, getting through to the fraud department felt nearly impossible.
To address the fraudulent checking account, I had to be transferred to yet another department and was bounced around roughly three more times before reaching the right person. The agent in checking eventually provided a case number but could not confirm whether the fraud investigation applied only to the checking account or also to the credit card account. That means I may have to call back and repeat this entire ordeal just to resolve the credit card fraud. Her attitude was dismissive and clearly conveyed that she did not care.
This bank is a bureaucratic nightmare. Maybe 20% of the people I spoke with genuinely tried to help, about 10% actively made the situation more frustrating, and the remaining 70% simply passed me along to someone else, often to the wrong department. If you value your identity, security, and sanity, avoid this bank at all costs.

I am writing to formally complain about my recent experience with Wells Fargo’s mobile deposit service and customer support. I deposited a business payroll check using the Wells Fargo mobile app. Notably, the check was issued from a Wells Fargo account and deposited into my Wells Fargo account, yet I was informed that the funds would not be available for two business days. Concerned, I visited a local branch the following morning. The branch manager advised that the funds could be made available the same day and provided a phone number to contact Customer Care. However, when I called, Customer Care informed me that Wells Fargo does not process mobile deposits on weekends and that the check would not be processed until Monday night, directly contradicting what I was told at the branch.
This lack of consistency between branch staff and Customer Care is extremely frustrating. Additionally, the absence of weekend processing places Wells Fargo at a significant disadvantage compared to competitors. For example, Chase Bank offers weekend processing and typically releases a portion of deposited funds the same day, with the remaining balance available the following day. This experience has highlighted a clear difference in service quality. As a result, I have lost confidence in Wells Fargo’s mobile deposit system and will not be using it again. I expect clearer communication, more consistent policies, and service that aligns with industry standards—especially for internal Wells Fargo-to-Wells Fargo transactions.

They immediately had sent a payment to the new insurer (even though I informed them that I am paying my home insurance myself) creating an escrow shortage. When I called WF CS to find out what the problem was, I was "advised" to go to the nearest branch, go online or make an escrow payment over the phone!

I am writing this review to warn others about my experience with Wells Fargo's consumer lending, which has been defined by misleading promises and a complete failure to honor advertised terms. I financed a furniture purchase through a retail partner using a Wells Fargo credit plan. The point-of-sale offer, which was the basis of my decision, was for a 5-year, 0% interest promotional period.
After the account was opened, I discovered that Wells Fargo had not honored this agreement. The terms on my account were listed as a 36-month (3-year) 0% interest plan. When I contacted Wells Fargo to correct this error, I was given no satisfactory explanation and the 5-year term was not reinstated. To make the situation worse, the 0% interest was not even honored for the full 36 months. Interest was applied to my account after only one year, violating the already-reduced terms.
This is not a simple clerical error. It is a serious bait-and-switch tactic. Wells Fargo lured me in with a specific offer and then unilaterally changed the terms after I was committed. Their handling of my complaints has been dismissive and ineffective. This experience has shown me that Wells Fargo's advertised financing promotions cannot be trusted.

🚨 WARNING: WELLS FARGO IS A SCAM BANK. PERIOD. 🚨 Let me tell y’all exactly why I will NEVER bank with Wells Fargo again. I’ve only been with them a few weeks, and they have already played with my MONEY like it’s a game. I track EVERY transaction. I get INSTANT alerts. I know EXACTLY what leaves my account and when. Monday, we checked out of our hotel. They said we owed $134 — cool. We paid it, and it came out immediately. After that, I got two Zelles, swiped my card twice, and still had $182 left. Tell me why I wake up the next morning and suddenly I only have $82? WHERE did $100 go overnight?
Their excuse? “Pending transactions.” Funny, because ALL WEEK every single debit transaction came out in REAL TIME. Now all of a sudden everything wants to be “pending”? Be FOR REAL. I tried to let that BS go, even though I KNEW they were lying. Then I get another Zelle for $40, taking me to $122. We spend $75 at Cheddars. Balance should’ve been $47. I wake up today and I’m –$54. Negative. OVER transactions that were ALREADY taken out before. And the rep actually tried to tell me: “We take the money out in real time, put it back, then take it again when it posts.”
EXCUSE ME? Y’all NEVER put ANYTHING back. You just double-charged and pushed my account negative on purpose. This is straight-up THEFT. Wells Fargo is DELIBERATELY messing with processing times to force overdrafts and collect fees. I don’t care what anyone says — this bank is GARBAGE and absolutely predatory. If you’re thinking about opening an account with them, don’t walk — RUN. Your money will NOT be safe. They will take it, “hold” it, “reprocess” it, and then LIE to your face. I’m done.

I have used Wells Fargo for many, many years. I have had many negative experiences but continue to use them because of the ease of finding one in most areas. The only way you could make a wells fargo bank worse is to take out the drive through and put it in the most inconvenient place ever, and then you did. Bravo.👏

Absolutely unprofessional specialists. Do not know how to provide the good customer service and how politely speak with people, missing important information. If you need to use Zelle - be ready to go to the ATM to activate it. YOU can not do that from online banking - there is not possible to verify it from home. I've been at the bank office in the morning - and they told me than I can easily to send money through Zelle. Came back home from work - tried to do that, unsuccessful, called WF - unprofessional lady told me than I need to go to ATM machine verify my phone number.

The bank provides no proactive alerts for declining balances — you’d expect safeguards for unusual account behavior, but instead, customers are blamed for not setting them up manually. The result? More penalties, more profit for the bank. After spending two hours on the phone disputing charges, not once did anyone mention I needed to act immediately. Even after expressing concerns about potential fraud and confirming days later that my account was secure, they hit me with another fee — this time for briefly dipping below the minimum balance. This is a textbook case of hiding behind fine print to exploit customers, prioritizing penalties over people.

If my finances were not connected to Wells Fargo I would change them. They have charged me 3 times overdraft protection when they didn't inform me about the overdraft. Usually when you have an overdraft they show minus amount then you pay it or they charge you, I didn't know they charged me because it didn't show as minus. The reason I noticed it is I seen the transaction. Usually I have so many transactions I didn't see it, this time it was at the top. When I called they said, "Oh you had pending transactions so we covered you for the extra that you don't have in your account." This is not the only fishy thing they do. They send late emails so you don't see that you are overdraft, they charge you for amounts hitting late night as they have giving you a full day for overdraft protection.
When you go to a store you see you have $100. You spend it, they take it out and then you see all your transactions are pending but you made sure you covered all your transaction yet they have you in the minus. Their excuse is you have all these pending charges. I do have those pending charges but you are my bank you should show me the negative amount which sometimes they do and sometimes they don't so they can claim their $35. The $105 they charged me could be more but I don't know because I have to go to each statement and check.
If you are not a customer don't. They have high interest, their customer service once I called about my loan they didn't say that my payment was missed. They said, "We see that you have late fees," which I can pay at the end of my loan and not be reported to the credit Bureaus but it was a missed payment where I know I scheduled it but what they do is they cancel your payment if there is not a sufficient amount and knowing them they haven't send me that email because I didn't see it. They will report over limit but will take their sweet time to report you paid off your account, or even paid your monthly payment. I had 700 or so showing on my credit where I paid it off.

Although it accepted it to send money and it used it to text me notifications. I called CSA one and she said she would take care of it and that it would take 2 or 3 days to correct, Got an email that this broke my link with my Quicken so called back and got 2nd CSA and he said he couldn't do anything so I asked to be transferred to a CSA in the USA and he said sure and transferred me, while on the line with CSA three I got more emails breaking my account, I asked CSA3 if she was in the USA and she said no so I asked her if she could transfer me to a CSA in the USA and she said it would take a bit, would I hold, told her yes, then CSA4 came on the phone, told him about the phone number then the emails, 7 total during these calls, that kept breaking one thing after another.
Now I can't access my bank account or my car loan, can't access online "Your Wells Fargo credentials are disabled" and the number listed is the number I called each time, so I asked CSA4 was he in the USA and he said yes in Texas. CSA4 said he couldn't help me, I would have to go into the bank on Monday, this happened on Saturday. I asked him if my debit card would still work and he said yes, just my online access was messed up. Monday I went to the local Wells Fargo Bank and we sat for a while, there were only 2 bankers and 2 tellers in a huge building.

The currency was not there as promised the first time. This morning - wow - the manager Lisa told me that she was trying to help “pry the vault open”. YIKES! This does NOT inspire confidence, and not calling us to tell us they can’t give us our money, again, on time as promised - does NOT inspire trust.

They had me sit on hold while they transferred me to 3 different people. They sent me to online support, who immediately disconnected my call before helping me. I called back. They transferred me to another 3 people.
The final person I spoke with sounded straight out of Idiocracy. He sounded like a cranky middle school boy. I asked him how to change my preferences to pay off my statement balance. He told me I would need to fax them a paper request or mail it to them. Like paperwork that needs to be sent through the post office.

I live mostly abroad for the last ten years and I am, as I write, waiting on a new bank card which was initially mailed on Sept 16 (it's Oct 22). I came here with a new card and, thus, needed (at five years expiration) two cards during this time frame (plus one more for a lost card). Wells Fargo has sent me nine cards in this time period, by snail mail. The last time I needed a card they sent it to the wrong country. It took seven weeks to get my card. I'm at about five weeks this time. I have had the worst customer service support that is imaginable. For example, I have a perfect good and still viable card in my wallet right now but because the previous card was lost in the mail. The service rep I spoke with cancelled not only the lost card but the card in my wallet thereby leaving me broke and with bills to pay.
Every single day my NY Times or Netflix, etc.. Is due and I have to scramble to get it paid because the people there have zero common sense and though they say all the right things their actions reveal that they are incapable of completing the most rudimentary tasks. The last time I needed a card I spoke to a senior representative, I live in SE Asia and we spoke for several minutes about what it was like and how she wants to visit here etc... Great so then she releases my card and sends it to CA where I keep my permanent address. I am living on disability and because disability doesn't pay enough for me to live in CA anymore (where I have lived my entire adult life). I am living here so I need to receive my money without fail every month. I live in a rural area, I tried to pay my landlord with a check but they don't even take checks in this area, maybe in this country.
This is a multi billion dollar company (Wells) that is horrible to deal with, has been convicted of fraud in the past (with a new case pending) who are completely disinterested in giving customer service of even the most basic kind because they are greedy and cheap. Of the many cards that have been sent (nine, I'm pretty sure) I have only received two and, guess what, they were sent by FedEx not snail mail. I tell them this every time and every time they blame the "system". Well, the system sucks and so does this institution.

I have been a loyal customer of Wells Fargo for over 45 years, and I have always trusted the institution to handle my financial matters with integrity and professionalism. However, my recent experience has left me deeply disappointed. On October 10, 2025, I deposited a cashier’s check for $10,000 into my account via ATM to resolve an overdraft and avoid additional fees. The funds were mine, provided by a family member, and I specifically requested a cashier’s check to ensure a secure, traceable transaction and avoid IRS complications associated with cash deposits.
The following morning, I contacted Wells Fargo and was informed that a 10-day hold had been placed on the cashier’s check. Despite speaking with multiple representatives and visiting the branch in person, I was told that the hold could not be removed due to a newly implemented policy. I then requested the return of the check so I could retrieve the funds directly from the issuing bank, but this request was denied. This action is unjustified. A cashier’s check is a verified and secure form of payment, and it does not require 10 days to confirm its validity. Wells Fargo’s refusal to release the funds or return the check has left me without access to my money, causing unnecessary stress and disruption.

I am also the Treasurer for my Church who had their checking and savings at Wells as well. I used the WF bill pay for their bills as well. WF did not give me a separate login for the Church's accounts. That went from a little annoying to really annoying when I would have WF bill pay send money to one of my vendors, and WF would tell the vendor that the money was paid by the church. Yes, the money came out of my account, but the attribution was from the Church and not me. The Church has since moved one, and there have been no issues for some time.
Unfortunately, I had them send money to one of my vendors (actually a Charitable organization) and WF told them the money came from the Church and not me. Thankfully - they gave the organization my address, and I was able to fix this with the Charity, but WF gave the organization incorrect Payor information. The church has not been a WF customer since the early COVID years (2020?) and they are attributing payments coming from the Church who has not had a WF account for a long time. WF customer service sees no problem. My fix is to use the Organization's website to arrange payment and avoid WF bill pay. It is unfortunate that WF doesn't have the brain power to comprehend what they are doing wrong and therefore do not see a problem that they need to fix. Very frustrating.

I’ve banked with Wells Fargo for many years. Over these years, I’ve experienced some really unfavorable things. Today, I tried to have something notarized and they said the person had to be a Wells Fargo customer. We tried to do that and they said we need two forms of ID. That’s the whole reason I need it notarized. I’m so tired of people saying you have to be “part of our club” (so to speak). This world is becoming more and more greedy the older I get. I also just had my card stolen and I needed to pay my bills and couldn’t pay until I received my card. They said that I could use my bank routing number but I definitely don’t want to put that out there for the public to grasp. This is not the greatest bank. If you want a good bank, try another one first.

Then they said they would cancel the check and deposit the amount they owe us into our account. After months of more waiting, they now claim they need to mail it to us again and that it would take 10-14 business days. It's been 3 weeks and nothing.

The real insult is the disparity between this experience and the rewards given to the bank's executives. While small business owners are the engine of true price discovery—producing the goods and services that create real value—the bank's leadership is receiving enormous compensation.
In 2024, CEO Charlie Scharf's total compensation was $31.2 million, a 7.6% increase from the previous year, which included a $2.5 million base salary, a $7.2 million cash bonus, and $21.5 million in long-term equity awards. This lavish package was approved by the board based on the bank's financial performance and progress with regulators, not on the quality of service for the small business customers who keep the system running. The bank's logo should be changed to a vulture picking the bones next to a stagecoach that says "Small Business" waiting for its check to clear. It would be a more accurate reflection of their relationship with the backbone of the economy. A 10-day hold on $400 cash deposit screams fraud!

Wells Fargo used to be a great bank but they have turned into the worse. Customer service and concerns are at the bottom of their list. Profits are definitely at the top. You would think a non-profit company like ours that have put millions and millions of dollars through WF would have a business banker looking after their needs. Not so. If you have CD's do not expect a banker to give you a call to ask if you want to roll it over. Quite the contrary. You realize it is a few days past renewal and call only to find out your 4.25% is now getting you .001% so WF can lend it out from 4-9%. That is GREED! You set an appointment with a WF investment banker to invest a half million in a CD, wait a week for the appointment and they are a no show. When called do you think that person would apologize and say they would get there? No. They just give a lame excuse after ruining your day.
When they close the drive up where you do most of your business they give the excuse "it just wasn't used that much" even though every time we went there you had to wait behind the cars in front of you. We know exactly why they closed it. One less employee and more profit. GREED! If they treat long standing business this way you can just imagine how they treat the consumers that are not putting millions through WF. When you are a non-profit you have many auto-pays and donation accounts tied to your account and it would be a nightmare trying to switch everything but that is exactly what we are now going to be forced to do.

Wells Fargo continues to take money from customers through overdraft charges. This isn’t surprising, since the company has a long history of similar practices, but it’s frustrating to see it still happening today.

Hello. So I've had a long history with the bank, I've always had great things to say about this financial institution. I went about 4 years banking elsewhere. This past May I decided to return to Wells Fargo. Reason being I'm receiving (to me a huge) settlement award probably the most money I'll ever see in my life so I tried to plan this out as best as I could. I open the account in May and found myself filing a claim for a double charge on my account, the amount was 1k. This made my account be overdrawn. I was only given a partial temporary credit of $200 a week into filing dispute among other small charges. I get a call letting me know that my account is due to be closed as of 17th of this month citing security risk.
I been on the phone daily basically pleading for them to let me keep my account open because I already arranged for my award to go to this account. To no avail on top of that the 1k charge had not been resolved although it's been a couple of weeks. My intention was to meet with a financial advisor and put my money to work since I thought I could trust them with my money. I'm so sad. I really talk wonders to everyone about how much Wells Fargo is used to be my favorite. Not anymore. My claim has not been resolved. My account is overdrawn amounting fee after fee. I only got 200 out of 1k partial credit. I don't know where I went wrong. I have communicated over and over with wells Fargo to resolve this matter.
My account is due for closure September 17 the and now I have to find another bank. But thank God I spoke to Chase and they have promotions going on for large deposits such as mine. So maybe it's good that this happened because I should be getting a bonus of 3k just for depositing into one of their accounts. So wells Fargo never again. I've lost sleep over this wondering what if something goes wrong with my money. I've never had so much money in my life and thought I could trust them but clearly they portrayed me as a security risk lol. Why? Because I meet the criteria? But as of today I feel more at ease. It's just sad Wells Fargo chose to go this route. But it's a gain for Chase bank.

I recently needed to refinance my house because I had a situation with the bathroom, resulting in a need for a full gut of the bathroom. I have had a mortgage with WF for 25 years, so felt that they would be the best option. I was wrong. Five minutes into the process, I was told that I needed to pay $995.00 for the application processing.
After they got the money, I was informed that I would need a new appraisal, just had one done by the County in June, so I was unsure why. Then I was informed that if the appraiser found the bathroom to be in disrepair, the reason I was applying for the refinancing was to get the bathroom fixed, that I would have 10 days to complete all repairs or they would void the application and I would have to start over, necessitating another application fee. All of the companies we had gotten estimates from said that it would be a 2-3 week job, depending on how bad the condition of the studs was and how bad the mold was. I explained all of this to the WF agent before paying the application fee.
I started to go through the process but quickly found that for every document that I provided, they wanted "more". For example, I have a disability rating with the VA. WF wanted the document for the disability rating. I provided that, then they said that document wasn't current. They need a document with a current date on it. Once you get a disability rating/compensation notification from the VA, they do not renew that yearly. So I called the VA, spent 90 minutes on hold and when it was finally my turn, a very helpful person created a document and emailed it to me. I provided that to WF through their document portal. Then I needed to provide my most recent bank statement showing that the VA deposits the money in my account.
It was like that for EVERY piece of documentation that I gave them. Almost as though they were deliberately trying to run out the clock on the application process by requesting more and more data. Since I have had a mortgage with them for 25 years, I think they have most of the data they need already. Neither the intake agent nor the refinancing specialist have returned my phone calls or my emails, and when they do, they defer me to the other person.
When I told them that I wanted to stop the application process and get a refund, I received a call from their manager, it went to voicemail because since starting the process with Wells Fargo, I have been getting 30+ calls from lending institutions a day, leading me to believe that WF sold my information. I run my own business and was having difficulty actually doing the job because my phone was exploding constantly. So, I am trying to get a refund, which I doubt I will get, I still have a mortgage with them, unfortunately, and I would not recommend them to anyone for any reason.

Just a terrible experience. I have banked with these people for 20 years, but my recent interaction completely changed my impression of them. I am the executor on my father's estate and had to spend a very, very long time opening an estate account to manage the funds for the estate. I had to bring all sorts of paperwork to the branch (20 miles away) and was there for hours opening it. That was not the problem as the branch did a great job. Here is the problem. The estate account balance was at zero dollars for a while and Wells Fargo decided to close the account with the only notice being a sentence or two buried in an electronic statement. No other advance notice was provided and now the account is closed. I have been on chat and email with numerous "escalated representatives" and every one says they cannot reopen the account.
So basically, all of the work I did to get this account opened was negated by Wells Fargo arbitrarily closing it and refusing to reopen it. Now I have nowhere to place funds received by the estate without opening another account. If I open another account, it is going to throw off the reconciliation required by the courts in managing a probate account. This is a complete disaster that could have been mitigated by Wells Fargo either (1) providing some meaningful advance notice of closure or (2) reopening the account. This company is inept and inconsiderate.

This raised serious concerns about the reliability of Wells Fargo’s recordkeeping and its willingness to allow harmful narratives to persist against consumers.
For transparency, I am currently the plaintiff in an active civil case against Costco Wholesale (Collins v. Costco Wholesale Corp., Case No. CIVSB2504111, San Bernardino Superior Court).

Wells Fargo is a terrible bank! Stay away from them! On July 3, 2025, I closed my account by phone and requested that the balance on the account be sent to me via a cashier's check in the mail. However, the cashier's check never came after four weeks. On Monday, July 28, 2025, I called the bank to let them know that I had not received the check and to request that the check be reissued and resent, as it was probably lost in the mail. I was told that for the bank to reissue the check, I would have to complete a "Declaration of Loss, Theft, or Damage of a Cashier's Check" form and then wait for 90 days. Alternatively, I could purchase a bond (insurance, I suppose) for two cents on a dollar for the total amount of the check that was lost, whereby the bank would be able to reissue the check immediately.
The associate further suggested that I go to a branch for immediate assistance. I was able to secure an appointment with a banker at the nearest branch for the same day (7/28/2025). However, later that day, I received a call from the banker informing me that he would not be able to help and suggested that I wait for another couple of days to see if the check would arrive in the mail, and if it didn't, I should call Customer Service again and not to come to the branch, as the branch may not be able to assist me.
On August 1, 2025, I called Customer Service and was given the same options as before: (1) declare the loss and wait 90 days or (2) buy a bond. I reported the case to the Better Business Bureau but to no avail, and the bank insists the two options above are the only solutions I have. Now, my questions are: (1) Why do I have to declare a loss for something I never received and am not sure was ever mailed to me, as there is no proof? (2) Why do I have to pay (buy a bond) to receive my money, despite the fact that the bank was able to confirm that the check has not been claimed?

The sad part is that I have banked with them for more that ten years. I needed help with an estate check, A, told me to do one thing while B, told me to so something else, the website was misleading in me trying to perform the task I needed assistance with. I was told to go to the bank which I did, I was required to upload all document, which I did, then told to schedule a visit with a customer service rep. to then end up sitting there for an hour to get no help with the issue. Then told to do what I had already done all over again. To finally get someone who then said NO! We can't, two weeks of this. Contacted Bank of America and one two three it is now done and resolved. I WILL BE CLOSING MY ACCOUNT!

I started out banking with all of the Wells Fargo predecessors in 1974. Wells Fargo's acquisition of Wachovia Bank was an absolute disaster. Wells Fargo has zero customer service. The customer service in person or by phone is dismal. I would NEVER recommend Wells Fargo. I have numerous accounts with Wells Fargo -- which makes it hard for me to move my business. I am reaching out to other banks to see if they can transfer my accounts.

I received a text message asking, if I recognized a transaction when I answered no I received a follow-up message, telling me to call them? So I did, they took it upon themselves to cancel my card due to that transaction that I did not recognize. Now in general, That's a wonderful thing for them to do to catch a fraud transaction. But to cancel my card without my approval is unacceptable. That's my money, and you just took away my access to it. This is happening hours before I have to leave to go out of town tomorrow morning now. I have no access to my account and no alternatives given to me, just sorry, we'll mail you a card in seven to ten days. This tells me they're concerned for their customer is minimal At best! This is coming from a customer of almost forty years. And now they have lost me! Wells Fargo just left this 40 year customer out to dry! Thanks Wells Fargo.

Wells Fargo is the least customer focused bank I have ever had the displeasure of doing business with. I disputed a charge and they locked my account, as they should. When I called to have my account unlocked, so I could pay my bills, I was told that I had to acknowledge and pay the disputed charge to unlock my account. I didn’t initiate the charge. Why on earth would I pay it? Now I’m on the hook for almost $300 that was not initiated by me just so I can pay my bills. As soon as my paycheck clears on Friday, I am pulling everything out and closing my account. A credit union would never.

From teller to telephone support, WF bungled a check order leaving at one time 3 separate orders. Only the 4th of a string of bunglers corrected the chaos. They still charged $30 despite the clear carelessness and the waste of 2 hours of my time.

The worst service over the phone. Rude and not even knowledgeable and have the nerve to be sassy with me like I was wrong then proceeded to click to the prompt where it says rate the call or whatever. The fact that I had to correct her about my account and she couldn’t take that is horrible service. The fact the calls are monitored and she still had the nerve to play with me. Make that make sense. It’s her job to give me resolution period. Regardless if she likes it or not. I never felt so disregarded in my life. I want to leave Wells Fargo. Never received good service.

Poor Customer Service. I’m extremely disappointed with Wells Fargo. They mailed me checks connected to my credit card, boldly advertising 0% interest—which sounded helpful at the time. What they hid in nearly unreadable fine print was a hefty processing fee. When I used one of the checks (thinking it functioned like a regular check, since I’d never used one before), I was shocked to find I’d been charged $101 in fees.
I only used the check because the company I was dealing with needed one on the spot, and I had no idea this one came with hidden fees. I would never have used it if I’d known. When I contacted Wells Fargo, customer service was completely unhelpful and said there was nothing they could do. This feels extremely deceptive. They advertise the checks as a no-fee convenience, but it’s really a trap with surprise charges. I work hard for my money, and I expect transparency—not misleading offers and zero accountability. Very upsetting experience.

I’ve had a Wells Fargo business acct for 20 plus years. I had an overdraft because the account was $3.00 short and was charged $35. I had another one 10 months ago and was informed they give ONE credit per 12 month NO EXCEPTIONS! I will be moving my acct to another bank as well was my and all three of my daughters' personal accounts.

This bank fees are outrageous! $3 per ATM transaction unless you go to Wells Fargo which they have less and less branches. Sometimes they have no branches. I wonder why that is! No courtesy or convenience for a senior citizen small business. I paid 43 three dollar fees in seven months and the courtesy credit was $6!!!! Unreal! Stay away. They are FEE CRAZY!

Just switched our accounts to this bank several weeks ago. Made the initial deposit into the checking and savings accounts using a check from the credit union that we have decided to discontinue doing business with, however, left the credit union checking account open temporarily because of direct deposits, auto pay, etc. that had to be changed and which take time.
A few weeks later, made an ATM deposit to the new checking account with Well Fargo using a HELOC check from another bank. Shortly afterward, received an email from W.F. that they could not accept that deposit. Called the 800# and was told they don't accept HELOC checks drawn on another bank if the deposit is made through an ATM and that I would have to go inside the branch office to make one of these types of deposits in the future. Informed the rep that we were not cautioned about that rule when we opened our accounts and asked if there were any other surprises in store for us. The answer was no.
Early today, I wrote out another check from the Credit Union, payable to myself, because of another direct deposit. I went to the nearest W.F. ATM and deposited the check. Received another email saying, "We couldn't accept a deposit made to your account. Called the 800# and was told they tried "multiple times" to verity that this was a valid check but were unable to verity. So I can't do my banking during times that suit my schedule? What a load of BS.

I applied for and received the Wells Fargo cash card. I use the card to help pay for my daughter‘s wedding charging up to the limit every month and paying it off. Online it would show a zero dollar balance but then you try to use the card and it would tell you you were over your limit. I would call customer service and they would tell me there was a hold on my payment. It would be six days then I would question it saying, but it’s already been eight days And then they would change the story. I asked why the hole was on since it was a ACH transfer. I was told they did not know. Only the credit department could tell but no one was available. Filed an official complaint and was told I would hear back within 2 to 3 days. It is now been months. Still yet to hear back from anybody. Canceled my account. Best thing I ever did. The 2% cashback on all purchases was not worth the headache of dealing their customer service department.

Wells Fargo does not protect its customers at all. Filed a fraud alert the exact same day the charge was placed and they did nothing to protect us. Denied our claim of $6,100.00 even though we told them we got scammed over the phone. Called within minutes and they would stop the transaction or reimburse us. Customers of over 25 years, they told us to simply go pound sand. Don’t do business with a company that won’t be there when you need them the most.

Wells Fargo is terrible. I am moving all my accounts from it. I avoid going to this bank and this branch because the service is so bad. They don't know how to help. I scheduled a meeting (which I avoid). Someone named Julie called me once which I missed. She called from ** and she told me in her voicemail to call her back at that number. In the span of 2 days before my meeting I called that number 6 times at different times during the day but no one answered. To make matters worse not only could I not leave a voice message. After several rings this is the message that phone number says, "Thank you for calling Wells Fargo. You have reached a number that does not support voicemail. Goodbye." (Try it).
Well, such be my luck, when I arrived the one who attended me was Julie herself. But she said she could not help me because I needed to have my other business partners there. Of course, I was not happy because they made me waste my time. She could have told me that in the voicemail or if someone had answered I could have avoided wasting my time even going. Worst thing is even though she was nice about it she just kept saying, "Sorry". Then she said she tried calling me and I said so did I. 6 times the past two days and I told her I could not leave a voicemail or any way of communicating with anyone at the bank. So I called the number in front of her and her colleagues.
There were three bankers and absolutely no one else in the bank, NO ONE ELSE but me, and after several rings it said "Thank you for calling Wells Fargo. You have reached a number that does not support voicemail. Goodbye." I called twice in front of them. I said, "Look here's the number I'm calling. The one you called me from and the one you told me to call." She said, "Yes, that's the branch number. Sorry." Wow, Wells Fargo service is truly terrible.
