    This is the worst bank ever. They made their own transactions so they can charge you whatever they want. Not only they take your money but they ruin your credit. This bank should not be allowed to practice business.

    Why is this bank still in business? Probably that’s why they cater more to Hispanics and non speaking English people. Transaction are disappearing and reappearing making you think you have that amount. This bank intentionally do it to overdraft your account. Put this bank out of business people.

    I made a deposit from my husband's bank (Not Wells Fargo) on October 26th. Today is November 2nd. I received an overdraft notice. Turns out Wells Fargo only put a portion (less than half) of the deposit I made on October 26th. My husband verified with his bank that all of the funds were taken from his account immediately. I called Wells Fargo Corporate. THIS WAS A 55 MIN CALL and I was transferred 3 times. They told me the Wells Fargo Branch I made the deposit at was holding the funds and they (corporate) said they are reaching out to that branch to request the funds be released into my account.

    I received a call from the branch manager. He said they are not holding funds. He said they did not receive all of the funds from my husband's bank. Keep in mind, my husband has been with his bank for more than 30 years and he didn't believe any of this for one minute. He contacted management at his bank. That person said they never heard of that before and that it was completely false - Wells Fargo did indeed receive the entire amount all at one time. What are they doing with money that belongs to me?

    I applied for a credit card, and card did not arrive to my address. I called them to find out what was going on (It has been a month). Customer Service guy says the card was returned to them because I was not at that address (which was crap) - I was living at this same place for over 2 years and guess what I have a mortgage loan with Wells Fargo on the same address I am living at. Now here comes the kicker, Somehow they updated my address to my 2 year old address, so this was figured out after 40 mins of taking confirming my details etc... etc... now transferred me to fraud service... gave all my info again etc... etc. Now the phone got disconnected. I never got a call back.

    I called them back 10 mins on hold (Listening to some music) again bunch of confirmations - and finally after 15 mins they say sorry I have to go to the closest Wells Fargo back to give my ID proof and thats when my hold on my account will be released (Now I wasted 1:20 mins of my time just for some ridiculous mistake they have done) because my card went back they change my address to some random address and my time got wasted.

    Who the heck are you to hold my money hostage! It is not my fault you don't have 24 hour bank locations and that I am forced to use my debit card for a large purchase after banking hours.

    My husband and I have had our checking account with Wells Fargo for almost 3 years. I wonder how much money they have stolen from our accounts. In this day and age of technology and online banking we rely on our online account being accurate. How is it that I had a total of $19 in my checking account last night, but it is -$47 this morning? NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE I LAST CHECKED! But they make things appear and reappear so you think you have more in your account than you actually do. I keep a very close eye on my accounts, check multiple times a day because of fraudulent charges. I transfer money immediately if I need to, but it seems there is something more going on behind the scenes. This bank has just lost a customer.

    Wells Fargo contacted the credit agency to resolve the reporting error.

    Original Review: Oct. 30, 2018

    After my credit score suddenly dropped fifty points from May to June 2018 I received a letter from Well Fargo informing me my Dillard Credit card account was closed due to a bankruptcy. I contacted Wells Fargo immediately and informed them I did not have a bankruptcy. When they reviewed their records it was discovered my social security number was entered in error for someone who did have a bankruptcy and reported to the credit bureau. According to their staff it could up to 60 days to correct this mistake... While speaking with Wells Fargo staff they were rude and indifferent.

    Over the next two months I received three more letters each one informing me an additional sixty days were needed to correct the problem... The letters were a matter of fact and without apology. After six months Wells Fargo sent me a final letter informing me the credit bureau was finally contacted and it could take a few more months to update their records... OH, I can use this letter as proof if I need to apply for any credit.

    I had a $50,000 line of credit against a piece of real estate. In May 2011 I realized I had no access to the account. After talking to customer service I was told they were reviewing all lines of credit because of declining real estate values. One year later when I inquired I was told they had to pay my property taxes. I provided a check to prove I paid my own taxes. They still refused to reopen the line of credit. Now it's 2018 and I walked in the branch to address this issue again only to learn my business checking account was closed due to inactivity.

    No matter what the problem is at Wells Fargo Banks, there is a huge disconnect between the people that provide the in person service and their management such as underwriters or decision makers outside of the branches. I purchased a home in 2015 with a written guarantee that my mortgage would not be sold to Wells Fargo Bank. I am deeply troubled that Wells Fargo cares about profits but has lost the concept that good customers provide their revenue. I no longer recommend anyone do business with Wells Fargo Bank. I banked at Wells Fargo Bank, Peach Orchard Rd, Augusta, GA.

    Back in June, 2018 I found out about an IRA my deceased mother had at Wells Fargo. She passed away five years ago. When I called and got to the right department, a lady there told me there were three beneficiaries listed on the account, and confirmed that I was one of them. I asked if the other two were my two siblings, and she confirmed they were. She showed me where to get the forms to claim my part, and said we needed to create inherited IRA's to receive the content of the mother's account.

    I sent the forms, and my living sibling also sent the necessary forms along with the death certificates of my mother and the third deceased sibling; and we both created our respective Inherited IRAs. After a month, nothing happened, so I called to get a status update. I was told that myself and my siblings were contingent beneficiaries and that an old living trust was the primary beneficiary. WHY WASN'T I TOLD THIS THE FIRST TIME? I said that the trust no longer existed, because it was a living trust and the grantor and grantee (my two parents) were both deceased, so the trust no longer existed. Both I and my sibling (who called separately) were told that an executor of the trust must make claim for the funds.

    Well, my father passed away the previous May, 2018. I told all this to my father's estate attorney, who sent the probate court's letter testamentary, and his credentials to Wells Fargo. Again, nothing happened. It's now September, and I called to find out what's going on and am told that since this account was my mother's, estate paperwork pertaining to my father's estate was irrelevant. I was then told that all other paperwork was in place for my sibling and I to receive the funds into our respective Inherited IRA accounts when Wells Fargo received an opinion letter from a lawyer that the trust no longer existed. It was confirmed then that my sibling and I are the remaining contingent beneficiaries, and all other forms were in order.

    The lawyer faxed, per Wells Fargo instructions, the opinion letter. Still, nothing happened. I called again two weeks ago to see what is going on. I was again told that they had everything they needed, but the account was “in Processing” and we should see the funds in our accounts the following Monday or Tuesday. Yesterday, Tuesday, I checked my account online, and the funds are still not there. So I called again. The rep on the phone couldn't immediately find all the forms. He said my claim form for my mother's account was filed with my Inherited IRA, and so was my sibling's, who had sent them in totally independent of me and did not have my account number.

    Then the BIG SHOCKER! The rep told me that THERE WERE NO CONTINGENT BENEFICIARIES LISTED ON MY MOTHER'S ACCOUNT!!! So they misfiled our claim forms and then ALTERED MY MOTHER'S ACCOUNT DATA. Now they say we have to file some new form to identify contingent beneficiaries, because none are listed. They confirmed in at least three prior phone conversations to me that there are contingent beneficiaries!!!

    It's a giant game for profit. They'll claim that "pending transactions" don't always get posted to your current balance because of the last few dollars you might've tipped the waiter. What they actually do is hold a ton of transactions so your balance looks higher, then run them all at once with a little extra here & there. Oh did you spend $15 at the grocery store because your account said you had $27, just to check the next day and have it say -$19? That's the game. Rest assured you didn't have 8 tips go through to different waiters at the last minute. It was timed that way to create the overdraft.

    On 9/28/2018 I overheard my neighbor's discussing my financial information. Their daughter is a teller at the Wells Fargo's, Kiln Creek, branch in Yorktown, Virginia. I knew immediately that their daughter had accessed my account without my permission. I filed three complaints with Wells Fargo. The first with customer service, which was closed after two days. The second with my local branch in Grafton, VA, and the third with Wells Fargo home office. Finally my complaint was referred to Ethics and a investigation was completed. The end result was the employee being coached, and no other information could be provided due to the employee's privacy. What about my "Privacy", my financial information being given out. With all of the identity theft and fraud in today's world, what about the customer. The teller is still employed at the branch after her unethical behavior. I will be closing all my accounts with Wells Fargo.

    Horrible experience sending wire transfer thru Wells Fargo bank. Already 12 days passed and still wire transfer is being held at intermediatory bank (HSBC). Irresponsible staff at Wells Fargo both branch and wire transfer department. They will never give you correct information about your wire transfer. Wells Fargo use a intermediatory bank (HSBC). My experience with both banks are horrible. HSBC wants to know very personal information of yours and beneficiary, that is not required by law. I recommend you find other financial service instead of wire transfer. You will pay less and fast delivery of funds.

    On 10/11/18 I contact Wells Fargo to make a credit payment online. After verifying me by taking my social security number, mailing address and telephone number; I received a text number with a confirmation so that they may review my file. The customer service representative informed me that although she can see that I have a credit card, she will have to refer me to appropriate department. I asked the representative if they will have to verify me all over again, and if so, could she announce me and explain my situation. Assuring me that I would not have to verify again because it was already completed, she forwarded me to the next department.

    Customer representative #2 upon receiving my call informed me that my information did not come through, and informed me that it does not come through. She did however, apologize to me for the inconvenience, and took me through the verification again, only to inform me that I was transferred to the wrong department, and offered to get me to the proper department. I immediately asked that I be allowed to speak with the supervisor to file a complaint because I was not happy that I was not only transferred to the wrong department, but also lied too. I was then transferred to speak with a supervisor.

    Customer Representative (Supv) Person No. 3 - The supervisor informed me that although she had verification information, she could not see my account because I was transferred to the wrong department. She assured me that they would look into the representative who gave me the wrong information, and she also assured me that she will transfer me to the proper account. She then forward me to the Finance department.

    Customer Representative - Person No. 4 - I was then transferred to the Finance department who informed me that although they had my social security number, they were unable to locate my account. Asking me if it was a retail account (which it was as I purchased furniture), she told me that she was unable to locate my account. She then transferred me to another number.

    Customer Representative - Person No. 5 - The supervisor spent the next 25 minutes between hold and asking me additional questions like what did I buy, my addresses, verifying my social security number, only to inform me that although they "manage" account for other places, they could not find my account. She then offered to transfer me to another department so that they can help me get back onto my account online. At that point not wishing to speak to yet another and 6th person to try to locate my account - I was done. Needless to say, I did not make my payment, and I am so glad that I continue to make them mail me bills. If I had not, I would not have been able to pay my bill on time, and of course, I am sure that they would not have any problem with charging me a late fee. This is by far the worst customer service experience I have ever had.

    We started a mortgage w/ Wachovia, our payout in 2006 was maybe $18,000! Since Wells Fargo bought out Wachovia. We have gotten statements saying we were months ahead of our mortgage and get statements we were behind. So we refinanced and paid Wells Fargo what was left. Our payout ended up be $50,000. Which by the way is way more than even what the mortgage was for and in 10 years shouldn't my payout amount have gotten smaller not bigger. We will never do anything that involves Wells Fargo.

    Unfortunately I could not have a lower review of Wells Fargo. It was actually the worst customer service experience I have ever heard of. I highly do not recommend banking with this company because the customer service representatives are worse than bigots and criminals. They seem to be remotely sexist and disregard all levels of authority. They are monsters. I would like to say that any time I call the company no one is "non corrupt enough" to actually try to answer any of my questions.

    In fact, they research me and my banking practices while they ask me needless questions. I do believe several representatives attempted to steal my account number. Not only that, they 100% in all honesty only helped me today after two hours of sadistic clowns because I said I couldn't speak and had a throat infection. It was the worst experience of my life. Please don't use this company.

    I have never been unhappy with Wells Fargo just a comment that made me drop my rating... if I am depositing a check using the Wells Fargo app I don’t necessarily understand why the money cannot go in right away. It didn’t even go in the next day or day after when it said it would...I spoke with a Wells Fargo representative who was very nice about this situation and said it was because of Columbus Day... so because of this I get my money 5 days later??? It’s 2018 if I deposit something it should go in immediately or give me an ACCURATE notice of when it will. Apps such as Venmo can figure this out so you should as well. If humans have Columbus Day off why are you offering technology that is suppose to replace them if it still won’t go into effect until we’re back at work...? Just some thoughts.

    I have been banking with Wells Fargo for years and I now have come upon hard times. In the online banking, there was a section that allowed you to fill out an application for people with hard times and to present your reasoning (optional). So I filled this information out and even tried making a deposit (but needed an advanced access code to do so from my credit union). Called the bank and they stated all I had to do was update my phone number and I could get the access. Boy was they wrong... I still needed the access code. The very next day they closed the account on me. I am infuriated, I did this hardship program with my other creditors and for a bank I have had since 2014 to close on me and not provide me the decency to solve the issues is pathetic.

    Cheating is continuing. I received a no interest home project loan via a contractor. I was confused by WF recurrent payment menu and made an error so that the complete balance was transferred from my bank account. I called them and it took 2 months time to return the entire amount but two-month payment was subtracted. I thought that everything was fixed. I programmed my bank website for monthly payment the loan. Then, I discovered that my monthly due was elevated and now I have to pay the interest. Nobody told me this and it was no reasons for this, just only because their system is set to do such things.

    Moreover, I was charged for a late fee because I did not pay this increased monthly fee in my monthly payments. Phone calls resulted in nothing, they always referred to my error. I did not want to waste my time for hopeless discussions and paid off the loan. Very customer-unfriendly bank. I am not satisfied and frustrated. By any means I would avoid this bank service.

    I'm a US citizen living in Australia for 26 years and a customer of Wells Fargo for past 7 years. I have several US investment properties and the WF account is used for rental income and payments to maintain properties. I manage all transactions with WF online and recently I was locked out when trying to log in but absolutely certain I typed the correct username and password. When I tried to follow the reset password process, their system couldn't identify me by my SS# or Username and so I had to call the US Customer Service #, spent over an hour paying for a call, spoke with multiple customer service reps and no one could help me for 2 reasons.

    #1 - They couldn't verify my identity because the phone # on my profile didn't match my overseas phone # - but when I asked if the field would hold a foreign #, they said the phone field only holds enough digits for a US phone # but Australian phone # is 14 digits - asked them if it was truncated and they wouldn't confirm, said it had to be a perfect match or they couldn't move to next step.

    #2 - Even if they could have confirmed my identity, they said the process doesn't allow for texting or sending 1 time passwords to foreign phone #s. And wait for this...each of the customer service reps told me that the only solution was for me to visit a branch with proper ID. I explained to them that for me to visit a branch is a $3,000 cost and 21 hour flight and they said... "Sorry, that's the only solution." Obviously this is not a workable and reasonable solution. I can't access my account, can't reconcile property income and can't pay property expenses. What can I do to fix this? Wells Fargo is not a global bank and has concept of customer support for anyone outside the US. As soon as I can go home, I'm closing my account. Let's hope that this isn't a result of a breach and my identity and my account balance is at risk.

    I really & truly think that Wells Fargo is the best bank. I have never had an issue since with anything negative since I first opened my checking account back in 2010. I have only nice things to say about Wells Fargo. Anytime I have ever had a discrepancy, whether it be on my online statement or with an unauthorized charge on my debit card, Wells Fargo always takes care of it and never gives me any hassle about it whatsoever and I appreciate that and truly feel like they are on my side. It’s a good feeling.

    Since I have a checking and a savings account with Wells Fargo and since I use my debit card at least ten times a month for purchases, I haven't paid for checking in years. They have ATMs located all across America & the new ATMs even give you a choice on what denominations of bills you want from the machine, even $5.00 bills! Just make sure if you leave the country you have enough cash in the bank to cover your needs (especially in the Southern part of Mexico) because they do not always have branch locations or ATMs available where you can deposit cash if you should need to. I’m unsure why this bank has such a ‘bad rap’ and such a low star rating. I ❤️ Wells Fargo!

    I had gone today to withdraw cash from mine and deposit to my niece's account as she is a student in CA and was short of some money to pay her rent and I offered to help. When I go to the branch teller tells me that they do not accept cash anymore and cannot deposit cash in any accounts anymore so the point of me withdrawing and depositing in the account does not arise. I requested her if she can do a transfer as I am at the branch and was told only online transfer which would take at least a day or two. Or use Zille their third-party service. Seeing no options I requested the teller to give me a cashier's check and deposit the same in the account so my Niece can use the money right away.

    Guess what - Even for this Wells Fargo does not allow you to use the money right away... What a shame. I was told it will take a day for the money to be in the account. Felt so trapped with this FRAUD BANK who has had so many illegal things in the past. HAVE you tried their Bill PAY - they deduct the money 2 working days ahead of actual making the payment and then pay the money after 2 days to whoever it's to be paid. They do the same even for CC payments which is electronic. In short Wells Fargo uses customer money for 2 days and then gives them the service. WHAT A SHAME - I am seriously thinking of switching my Wells Fargo account to some smaller bank... THIS IS the worst service offered by any bank.

    My wife opened up a savings account at Wells Fargo which I am a cosigner to. She has had this account for two years. She deposits her SS supplemental into this account. She has four or five transactions per month on this account. One day she called the 1-800 number to inquire on the balance. The 1-800 system could not locate the account. She went online and the online system told her that the account did not exist.

    She went to the bank and the branch manager could not locate the account. His response was a shrug of his shoulder and a "Oh well". She called Wells Fargo support and after four different people and three hours she was told: "Well maybe your account got caught up in the purge of fraudulent accounts." They could locate the account but could not give a definitive answer on why it was deleted or offer any solution on how she may access her money.

    My wife filed a complaint with The Comptroller of the Currency. The $$$ was not that much. Just $500.00. But they stole SS $$$ from a retiree. She took the complaint and showed a copy of it to the bank manager. All of a sudden she might have her $$$ back in the form of a check in 5 to 7 business days. Will update if and when she receives her $$$. This is a violation of federal banking regulations as spelled out in Reg. C and Reg E. IF YOU HAVE A ACCOUNT HERE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER FINDING A HONEST BANK IMMEDIATELY. Minimum check your accounts for any and all suspicious bank fraud committed by this company. I witnessed all of these conversations since I also had a financial stake in this.

Huge turn off and not interested in a bank that has no regard for their customer's time.

    I would first like for it to be known that I have been a dedicated, honest and faithful customer of Wells Fargo for 9+ years, sorry I can't say the same about the way I have been treated. The only reason I am still a customer is because Wells Fargo is always wherever I travel to. 1. My issues with this bank began in 2012-- my debit card was stolen and my account was cleaned out-- leaving a NEGATIVE balance!!! I reported my card stolen, I even went to the police and also visited the last store a purchase was made with my "STOLEN!!!" card...

    May I remind you that I just came out of A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA!!! However, Wells Fargo didnt CARE!!! THEY ACTUALLY ACCUSED ME OF LYING AND REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER ANY FURTHER!!! 2. Now here we are in 2018!!! And YOUR bank has refused to refund me my $3 security deposit on my "secured" now unsecured credit card, I have been going back and forth with Wells Fargo (bankers, managers, back office, corporate and the resolution department), however NO ONE has seemed to resolve my issue or refund me my $300 deposit, once again accusing me of lying!!! Similar to the incident in 2012!!! Wells Fargo will be losing a valued, dedicated and sincere customer!!! Signs, An angry customer!!!

    After banking with this bank for about 10 years. Today I made a deposit that was not made available right away or not even half of the check was usual. So I decided to call customer service and see what happened. Well the customer service representative just went on and on to give me reasons why this might happened. Keeping in mind that none of the reasons or circumstances ever happened in the past 10 years that I had been making deposits through the ATM machine. Well let me just say that thanks to Wells Fargo and the unqualified people that they have working for them, I will go this weekend without a dime to my name. Monday will close my account and just stay with Chase. This is how company pays their loyal customers and then wonder why they are losing business. I'm still very upset that no one was able to help me or provide a valid reason.

    I had an account with Wells Fargo. My information was stolen. I made a report with both Wells Fargo and local police department for identity theft. Wells Fargo allowed someone open up several accounts under my name online. Never question the person ask the person any personal information to verify if they were me. They just allow them to open up the account. When I got the email notification stating that there were accounts open in my name and that my account was being closed I immediately called to let them know that wasn't me.

    Wells Fargo stated that they were going to do an investigation to figure out what was going on. I receive a letter in the mail stating that my claim was denied and I was responsible for the actions that were taken against the account. Which means that Wells Fargo did not do a thoroughly investigation. When I asked about the cameras which is attached to the ATM machine and why wasn't they reviewed they didn't have an answer for that. What's mean that they didn't do a very good job investigated otherwise they would have found who this person was which stole my debit card and was depositing counterfeit checks into my account with drawing them and getting cash back. I would not recommend Wells Fargo Bank to anybody. They sucks.

    I have several concerns with Wells Fargo but for the sake of this review; I will keep it short. Hopefully this information can help this from occurring to anyone else. My first issue is with the bank to bank transfer service they offer called "Zelle". I sent $450.00 to my sister in law, she too is a Wells Fargo customer. The two identification methods are the persons' bank account or their email. In my case I used the email. A day passes and my sister in law sees no money so I contacted the bank to make sure there were no issues with the transfer. At that time I was told by the bank that the money was transferred to an account at a Chase bank that was tied to her email. After verifying that she did not have an account at Chase I asked my sister in law to meet me at the bank.

    An hour later and a couple different bank representatives, I was told that they COULD NOT tell me who the money went to. So I called Zelle from the bank and they denied any wrongdoing stating that I must take my concern up with the bank. Something that I was doing to no avail. Finally a bank rep told me that I had to file a police report in order to get the information I was requesting. Long story short even with a police report I still do not have the information of the person who took the money that was mistakenly deposited in their account by the bank.

    I have no choice but to file a lawsuit in small claims court, miss a day of work and absorb whatever costs are involved with that. That is why they do what they do so that you give up and they keep getting away with it. This bank is too BIG to fail and like many other overpowering companies the government would bail them out if they were in trouble. Unless we move away from any Wells Fargo products this will continue to happen.

    My other concern is one that strikes many Americans and is the most dishonest way of creating revenue. My case in particular was a PENDING charge of 200.00 keyword PENDING. I was left with $194.35 before the charge. The negative was -$5.65 of a PENDING charge. I transferred money as soon as I saw that. Well before their 9 pm deposit cutoff for same day. I still received the charge. I called, was transferred to three different agents and ultimately denied reimbursement. Be careful when making the decision of where to keep your hard earned money!

    Ok normally my check is deposited every Monday without fail, but this past Monday the 17th my employer got word that one of his tenants committed suicide and he has to take of that, but my check would be deposited Tuesday morning! Now mind you I put $800 in the account from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th. All was cash in hand and it covered any transactions I might have had but come Monday I had six different overdraft fees even though ALL TRANSACTIONS were covered! When they posted deposits they made sure to post the six fees before my deposits. How are you going to tell me that the fees that were applied the 17th hit before my CASH deposits on the 14th and the 16th? Needless to say I was in the negative due to those fees! I would even be $50 in the good if they weren’t charging me $35 even though they had cash in hand!!!

    I would STAY AWAY from WELLS FARGO! They will take your money and make you feel like you done something wrong! You don’t just have our money! You have our house payment, grocery bill for our children, medical and dental for our children, car payments, insurance payments, utilities, daycare fees all at hand!

    We have had a checking account with Wells Fargo since last July, and kept it in good standing. Our new employer, a well-known corporation, issued our first paychecks to us last week as paper checks. We deposited them in the ATM, as a teller at that WF branch in Greensboro, GA recommended we do. The checks were both under $1000, but Wells Fargo placed the deposit on hold, saying we could not get our money for 11 days while the "suspicious activity was being reviewed." We called the 800 number, and they said to go to the branch. We went to the branch, and the manager said the hold was placed by the "back office" and she could not do anything about it, and to call the 800 number.

    We were furious! There was no consideration given to us for having been good customers, no human, common sense appreciation for all the proof we brought them that we are actually employees of the company that gave us our paychecks! Then I had to scream at the person on the phone to get it escalated. The escalation guy said it was our company's bank that told them our checks were fraudulent, which is not the case, as verified by our HR department.

    Today Wells Fargo essentially did the same to me. I deposited money from Cash app into the account yesterday. The funds were available and transactions were posted to my account. I made a few small purchases for food and gas. As of today, my account was overdrafted and all transactions and records of this deposit are removed from the entire system. They escalated it all the way to the executives office and was told there’s no record of this transaction. Yet out of the 8 people I spoke to today, two of them told me they see that the transaction occurred and then reversed back to Cash app. There is no record of this with Cash app. Essentially, the money was deposited and the transactions all erased (except for the purchases I made and the overdraft fee they’re now charging me.).

    If I was rich, and this were much more money than it is, I would sue the ** out of Wells Fargo and go to the newspapers with my story. However I’m a recent poor college grad and I now just simply have no money for ramen noodles this week. I’m telling everyone I know about my experience with Wells Fargo.

    Do Not Use this financial institution. I was just a victim of financial fraud with the help of Wells Fargo. A check (out of state) I deposited Sept. 4th 2018 turned out to be a fraudulent check issued to me by a company I thought I was working for. Wells Fargo made the funds available in my account prior to clearing the properly check because as they claim, "I am a valued customer and as a courtesy, they made the funds available before doing their due diligence." Thinking the check cleared, I withdrew the funds to make purchases for said company on Sept. 5th. The next evening, I receive an email and text stating that the check was returned. I have overdraft protection; first going to my credit card then to my savings. I was charged overdraft protection fees and a return item fee.

    Since I was a valued customer with no overdraft from the time of opening the account, no late payments with excellent credit history, they protected me from fraud by making the funds available before they properly cleared the check. Then turned around overdrafted my account for the funds from the returned check. Thank you for enabling criminals to work the system and helping them achieve their goals. Thank you for protecting your valued customer and keeping my financial security above your own. I have no means of chasing this on my own, thank you for your services as a financial institution that have the resources to protect customers from fraud.

Because I was familiar with her and implicitly trusted her, I didn't bother looking at the transaction receipt; which I always keep for reviewing at the end of each month to correlate my receipts with my transaction history. When I looked at, I saw she HADN'T waived the fee but included it as part of the withdrawal for the cost of the money order. She BLATANTLY LIED to me!

So A few days later I called customer service again and one of the representative had told me to bring the check that I mobile deposited to a local branch. That they would be able to deposit it into my checkings, and it would push through the hold. The only thing that I didn’t do in the first place was sign the back of the check. Anyways, so I go into the local bank of Wells Fargo and the banker was able to push it through and I had about 40% of the check deposited into my checkings. They said that 60% of it would be transferred at midnight or the next day.

    Next day, I check my account summary on the Wells Fargo app and I have zero balance. Now, there was a hold for double the amount of the check. Called customer service again and they said that the check was deposited twice and it was from the same check therefore they pulled it and put it on hold for verification process again. This time I had to wait another two weeks before it is able to go through, or they would send the check back in two weeks. She was saying that if I had waited the first time then there wouldn’t be another two weeks. So the representative is telling me that not a person can verify my checks and that I would have to wait it out. At this point I’m frustrated so she directs me to a supervisor. The supervisor then transfers me to a customer service team director or someone that represents one of their teams.

    She tells me that the person who told me to go to the bank was not suppose to do so. And Now after all this time of calling customer service, talking to the supervisor (barely) and then another team member from Wells Fargo, that I wasted my time on the phone and wasted my time for days for no outcomes of my check being deposited, just because I did not sign the back of my check for mobile deposit.

There's a lot of information out there on how bad this bank is, so stay away people, be afraid of how they operate!

    WELLS FARGO IS THE WORSE BANK EVER. Do not bring your business there. They just stealing people's money. If you make a mistake and end up with an overdraft, they turn everything around and make one overdraft become 6, 7, 8. Since I never had an overdraft I thought they would do something about it. I called and the representative told me that she can only return $26. I think I would slap her or spit on her face if she was next to me. That was so disrespectful because I did not go to them and begging. I was trying to get back the money they stole from me by turning one overdraft to 6. That is why there's so many lawsuits against them, I hope they lose them all. RUN RUN RUN from Wells Fargo. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

    My name is Natalie **. It is with tears that I am writing this letter. I have been a member of Wells Fargo on-and-off for many years. I have also been a member of Bank of America, however, there is no comparison to Wells Fargo. I don't care what anyone says. I am speaking base on my experience with both banks. Wells Fargo has helped me out more than even my family members. I have had many financial emergencies, such as, utility bills, credit cards with revolving payments. I was unable to pay these bills. Even though the money was not there they paid it anyway. And am not just talking about one time, it happen on several occasions. I was at my wit's end in debt. I hit rock bottom and had no money to pay my bills. Wells Fargo believed in me. I will never leave them for another bank. I had Bank of America for several years, and NEVER had they done this for me or anything of that sort.

    I have recently received overdraft charges and didn't understand why. I called Wells Fargo and it was explained to me that if I used my bank card and make a purchase on the 1st of the month let's say for $30, my available balance shows $30 deducted. And let's say my balance was $200, after the purchase I see my available balance as $170. 2 days later I pay a bill for $50 because I know that I have money in my account to cover. What this bank does per their representative, if the merchant doesn't process the payment ($30) by the end of the business day, they change your available balance back to $200. You basically have to check your account every day to see if payments have posted and check your balance.

    Most merchants systems don't post same day and I asked why they would put money back if they see the purchase made and was told they aren't allowed to hold money. Also asked why not leave the balance showing the $30 payment, no response. Long story short, they take money out, put it back, take out, put back and you end up over drafted because you think your balance is actually what you see when checking available balance. When the $30 is put back it doesn't show as a pending transaction, it doesn't show anywhere and this is how I found out what they were doing.

    If you have multiple transactions you have to remember where they were and check to see if each one posted. The merchant will process the payment maybe 3-4 days later but if you have spent funds not knowing the bank didn't post originally, you're screwed. I've been a member since 2007 and have never been happier to change banks. They don't realize that in this economy everyone can't afford their foolery and as a single parent every penny counts. It's really sad that they think it's ok to cheat consumers.

    As a client of Wells Fargo since 1984, (it says so right on my ATM card) I needed the bank I was loyal to to work for me. I needed a bank account for my new NUTRIENT company. The bank won't open account for "my kind of business" which is legal in all states of America and regulated by the FDA and approved for shipping by USPO. I NEVER bounced a check or overdrafted an account. I provided every single document they required including statements from CA secretary of state, CA franchise tax board, articles of incorporation. They have not provided written reason for rejecting my application AS REQUIRED OF THEM BY LAW. This is the same bank who received the largest fine on record for opening accounts without customer approval. So be aware of their practices, they don't care about customers. Avoid the mistakes I made trusting in them.

    I am a Wells Fargo customer since 1986. I have a permanent address in the US with my sister. I live in Mexico now 4 years. I have had my ATM card hacked twice and stolen twice. Wells Fargo has the worst customer service. On each occasion they have failed to act promptly, appropriately and truthfully. The Customer service center has no records of your prior calls on a problem. They cannot see how a conversation went and the action taken by a prior supervisor. A supervisor can tell you they will expedite a card but they fail to tell you a computer program will cancel that request and no supervisor can override it. You are not aware it is not expedited. If they tell you they will expedite a card and you can call the next day for the tracking number, forget it, the card is in ‘process’ and may take 2-3 days to be sent. Again, no information regarding who you last spoke with or that it was stated it would be sent FedEx, their preferred carrier.

    The reps say things about their procedure and what should happen but no details about what did happen on YOUR account. Twice they sent a replacement card through USPS regular mail to me in Mexico. I will never see that card. Unless you have lost money do not go through the fraud department. They are more concerned about themselves than you. Just cancel the card and ask for another. Oh, and when your home person sends the card to you instruct them to say it is a letter and make NO mention it is a credit card. Insist it is a letter. There is a law that credit cards cannot be sent by an individual via express mail services like FedEx. Seriously. If you are out of the country, have the card sent to your permanent address and have THAT person send it express. NO other way works no matter what a ‘supervisor’ tells you.

    I just had the worst customer service experience ever. I was forced to file for bankruptcy some years ago. The BK was discharged in 2012. I just recently discovered that Wells Fargo had suppressed submitting my timely payments to all three credit bureaus for 6 years. I wondered why my credit score never rose above 680 and why my credit card and car loan interest rates were so high. I called to have this corrected and to explore the potential for restitution because of their negligence.

    Not only was my request for restitution denied but they also refused to retroactively report 6 years of timely payments on both mortgages to the credit bureaus. Their reason, "They didn't have to by law". Though they are not legally obligated to fix THEIR MISTAKE, any above-board company would feel morally obligated to do the right thing. I find it amazing that an organization who's had so much bad press and legal issues would treat a long-time customer this way. What a disgrace. I'll never do business with them again.

    Wells Fargo recently added $500 to my mortgage payment claiming that my escrow account was short, even though at the end of 2018 I had a $2981 balance that would have covered the taxes and insurance for 2018. Instead they refunded me the money saying I had an overage. Great an overage, I could use that money to pay an outstanding medical bill. So the very next month they send me a statement saying that I had to pay over $3000 into escrow because it was short. HA! My insurance payment had actually decreased and my taxes remained the same.

    There should not have been any issues, but because of the "overage" my account was thrown into the negative and thereby not able to cover the taxes and insurance for the following year. Seems to me the point of the escrow is to build up the money to pay the taxes and insurance, which was obviously the case at the end of 2017. Something is seriously wrong with the Wells Fargo escrow algorithm.

    My letter to Wells Fargo branch: I am writing this in utmost frustration and hopes that you can see the immoral way of how Wells Fargo has conducted business in the to myself and get a resolution quicker to me which has not been presented. It's courageous for people like you to be an employee of such institutions that have mishandles people lives and peoples money. I gave faith to Wells Fargo to turn things around and make sure that customers were taken care of and their money was safe.

    You of all people should know how Wells Fargo has unethically opened accounts and taken people's money, sometimes without rhyme or reason. It in mind blowing how you can keep working for such a company. Today, I experience the exact opposite of ethical behavior after having my account closed without prior notice by Wells Fargo, losing out on $7,000 of my hard earned money and putting my parents business at risk. Getting 'mailed' a money order or cashier's check which anyone can receive. Interesting enough, e-mails are sent out and used for anything BUT advising that an account has some kind of system glitch. Which your bankers and phone representatives all agreed that your system had made an error.

    I realize that such a minuscule amount of money might not mean anything to such a huge institution as Wells Fargo, but for someone like me that came from nothing, works forever penny that I have and strives to put my parents into a comfortable retirement, this was not the same. The only explanation given was nothing short of a plea in defense on a bank that did nothing to take care my money and as we have seen time and time again bending laws and regulations from the top of the chain and down to the same branch managers that do not care the kind of impact they can make in people's lives.

    I hope my business survives after today, and I hope your so called Executive Team is actually doing something to fix this system Wells Fargo hides behind. I expect an answer and resolution from Wells Fargo tomorrow first thing in the morning. I expect my money to be handed to me regardless of whatever systems and checks and balances you have in place. Your system glitches should not be something that a customer like me should be affected as much as I have been today. I hope someone hears my story and helps me put this institution in the negative spotlight it deserves, yet again. Wells Fargo should not exist when they keep pulling off these kind of unethical behaviors.

    Yesterday, 7/27/2018, I deposited my wife's paycheck along with mine, in our local Wells Fargo ATM, at 11am. I do this at the same ATM, same branch of Wells Fargo, every week, and I've been a customer for over 9 years. The machine doesn't have a number where it normally says, "Amount Available". So I go into the branch, wait 20 minutes in line (this also irritated me to no end), and the teller informs me there is an issue with deposited checks not getting posted, but will be posted shortly. Try back later. 3:30 pm, I log on, and it still isn't posted. I call WF customer service, the guy tells me to file a claim against the company (!), and does that right then. Then he tells me it will be 8-10 days. WHAT? 8-10 days. I told him if it isn't resolved by Monday, I will close all our accounts (5 accounts including a mortgage account).

    I go back to our branch. After a 30 minute wait in line (now this is really pissing me off), the manager tells me that when this has happened before, it was resolved that evening. I asked if she could get into that ATM and give me out paychecks back. No. She offered to call management and see if they could transfer some funds so I could take the trip I was planning to last night. After another 20 minute wait, she returned, "No". I asked her if they were still accepting deposits at the ATM. "Yes, we are." Are you notifying the customers that their deposit won't get posted right then? "No." I've noticed that if there is an issue with anything that happens that is in the customers favor, it gets shut down immediately. If it is in the banks favor, it keeps going. I believe I'll be leaving Wells Fargo in this coming week. It's just getting worse and worse.

    Approximately 4 years ago, our local Wells Fargo had about 400 people in line around it on a Sunday afternoon. I wondered why. The next day in our local newspaper, there was an article about it. Wells Fargo and the Mexican Consulate had teamed up, to get some form of ID to illegal aliens, so Wells Fargo could open accounts for them. It was NOT an official ID, just a piece of paper with a name that they gave the consulate people. There were so many complaints to the city, they made them shut it down (too much traffic, and now of the people showing up had driver's licenses, but drove down there anyway), they had not informed the city, or the police about the event. Anything for a buck, they actively try to get the illegal alien business.

    I have a dispute going on at this moment and every representative gives me a different answer!! First they told me they could get my money back same day, next person tells me it can take 90 days, the following representative tells me it can take 7-10 business days, the next one told since the transaction was processing we needed to wait until it posted to the account. I called back the next day and spoke to a woman who said that they wouldn't be able to do that, in the meantime my sister has left our electric bill past due $500. I cut into my rent to pay this bill because it was set for disconnection, and unfortunately the place where I went for the money order had a systematic error. What a way to relieve my stress.

    In any case the woman I spoke to who said couldn't get the money back today advised to me to send a receipt from the merchant indicating that the transaction did fail. I had the manager email me the document and sent it directly to Wells Fargo. When AJ picked up the line he was trying to help me but the call dropped. When I called back the girl I spoke to stated that even though I had sent the email they requested that credit they did promise wasn't going to be placed for 7-10 business days.

    At this point I was very upset. This was the second time someone told me I had to do something to get the money back quicker, the first person told me I had to wait until it processed and that wasn't the case. The second one told me to provide proof, which I did and that still was not the case. This lady then told me they were having a hard time calling the merchant to verify the amount. I hung up, contacted the merchant, got their phone number and called back. This still didn't suffice. I called back a second time upset, I feel like I was doing everything I had to in order to help Wells Fargo, but they weren't helping me. You can see where I was upset? I spoke to AJ a second time.

    Before submitting this review I need to comment that this representative was the only one who seemed sincere. The rest constantly spoke over me and didn't let me talk. One female was rude as well. AJ was the only one who genuinely sounded like he wanted to help, the others sounded like my phone call was bothering them. This has been the most stressful experience I have ever encountered. My lights are already off, since Wells Fargo couldn't provide me the credit that was promised.

    My mother is on a breathing machine and since we lost electricity her lungs have collapsed and she's currently in ICU in the hospital. El Paso Electric was able to give me a medical extension for this reason however, it wasn't their fault. My financial institution gave me so much hell in recovering these funds.

Looks like WF wants to reduce the number of customers at WF. You are forcing to leave a customer since 1960-s in New Jersey! How does a handicapped, no driving license, very limited walking 10-15 steps, I had deposit slip made out properly, a person WF knew DID my banking on a monthly basis cash pension check, make deposits into my checking account, how do deposit cash? American money?

    A new client sent me a check for deposit on work that I am doing for him. Normally I get paid through wire transfer or PayPal. There's a Wells Fargo branch a mile from here so I went in to just cash it out of his account rather than mail it to my bank which is in a different state. The clerk asked me if I had an account, and I said no. She took my two forms of ID and then counted out the cash which I noted was short. She explained AFTER SHE NEGOTIATED THE CHECK that there was a $7.50 "check cashing fee". If she had told me that before I would have just mailed it to my bank in Boston. What a bunch of dishonest **.

    I own a construction business and have banked with Wells Fargo for over 7 years. I have not been completely satisfied with their service from the fraud department to help with transactions, however what happened today left me wanting to take my money elsewhere. I found some hard to find tools last min in another state at a good price. I just happened to have a friend visiting that very town and was willing to pick them up for me but they were leaving the next morning so I had to get them the funds to purchase the tools today. That doesn't seem too difficult considering they also have a personal Wells Fargo account. I stop into a local branch with cash to deposit into their account. The banker tells me that they can no longer accept cash to be deposited into an account without my name on it.

    So ok I turn the cash I, to a Wells Fargo money order so it can be deposited. Well that's all fine but the funds won't be available now until at least 24 hours later. So I ask can we just transfer the money from my Wells Fargo account to their Wells Fargo account and have the funds available? Nope! Apparently in this day and age there is no possible way to transfer funds from one Wells Fargo account to another Wells Fargo account and have those funds be immediately available. They tell me it is Federal Regulation now that you can't deposit cash into another person's bank account. So I guess there's nothing they can do about that. But to have no other way to make those funds available for their customers is unbelievable. I had to go to Walmart and have the money sent Walmart to Walmart in order to get the tools that I needed. It wasted half of my day.

    I will be transitioning to another institution and I do not recommend using Wells Fargo for your banking needs. I was amazed to see how poor Wells Fargo's reviews were. This is the first time that I've read them. I run to small businesses and it is imperative that my customer service is impeccable. I don't know how Wells Fargo can stay in business when they have so many unsatisfied customers.

    Occurred in Jamestown ND. According to Wells Fargo site... 'Joint ownership. This option gives your child the ability to use the savings account while you monitor account activity. Both you and your child can make deposits and withdrawals. An optional ATM card is available for your child. The account may be linked to a Wells Fargo Debit Card. Wells Fargo Online® access is available when your child reaches age 13. Adding a beneficiary on the account is recommended.'

    2 weeks prior WF employee did not question him depositing the check from an employer. 7/6 Wells Fargo employee told my son that an adult had to be with him. When clearly the account does not limit or state that. 7/10 My son and my girlfriend (who my son works for) went to deposit the check and the clerk proceeded to tell my girlfriend to scratch out his name and write 'CASH' in the payable to line. My girlfriend said, "I am not asking for cash." The clerk said that is the only way we can cash the check. My son and my girlfriend proceeded to tell the clerk that the check was going into my son's and my 'joint saving-minor account'. Clerk indicated that she could cash it and then my girlfriend could pay my son in cash. My girlfriend's business can't do that for legal and tax reasons.

    So they leave and my son and I go into the store and the clerk tells me that my son has not access to the account. I said, "His name is on it." She blathers on about 'this is how we have always done it and I have been here for 6 years.' I ask what Wells Fargo 'child account' for a child is for if they cannot make deposits in their own account? She really had no explanation. I said, "so every time my son wants to make a transaction, I need to be here?' She said, 'YES'. I proceeded to tell her that is why I got the 'child account' 7 years ago, so my son could make the transactions and save money. She said, "You can change to a different account where he can do that." I said, "The account I have is exactly for that according to your company web page." She further stated again 'that is how we do it."

    I ask for a customer service rep that could assist us, unfortunately... no one was available to help us. We proceeded with making the transaction (as I figured out this was going nowhere with this person). I have since contacted Wells Fargo - customer support, awaiting response... People if you want customer service... use a credit union.

Wells Fargo hits me with an $15.00 Excessive Banking Fee, because of too many withdrawals. At the very same time a $26.00 transaction is processing, disappears, and reappears in my account (making my balance more than what it should be). HOWEVER, in the middle of all this, my balance has now become $11.00. Then they charge me $35.00 for the $26.00 transaction that had already been taken out and accounted for. Now my account is -$24.00 with the $26.00 still needing to come out. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! I got on the phone and make them correct it.

I can send you my passport copies, my ID copies, my driver's license, my birth certificate, my tax number or any other document to prove my identity. I hope you help me or I will need to make an effort and go to the Brazilian and American embassy to ask for their help.

    This new statement had a Interest Charge of $69.03 on my zero balance statement. I called. They claimed since I paid 2 days after the due date, they charged me interest for the full upcoming month on the new statement. When I contested that the new statement should show $0 as it was created after I paid the balance off. They only were able to repeat the reason again.

    I expect when calling Wells Fargo [800] Customer Assistance number that providing assistance is the bank employees’ primary purpose. I called WF to raise the withdrawal limit on my check debit card, for one transaction. The customer assistance employee refused. I asked for a manager. When the WF Customer Assistance Manager understood my request—her solution—pass me to a different department. With sufficient funds, the proper bank customer verification protocol complete - the Customer Assistance Manager refused to listen to my situation. Every time I asked her if she would listen to me, she refused. I can’t remember a time when a business refused to listen to a request, or a complaint.

    Wells Fargo Bank “Ease To Do Business Transactions With,” is difficult. And dealing with the WF Customer Assistance Manager, her behavior was improper and unwelcome. I did receive my funds. I left the store where my WF debit card was declined. I found a Wells Fargo branch bank. I gave my debit card to the teller and requested the funds that I needed. Within a minute or two I had my money in-hand. Perhaps this situation can be chalked-up to a bad day for all involved in this drama. We all have those from time-to-time.

    Very bad and disappointing. I suggest you get a different bank that takes care of their customers. This bank Policy sucks! My husband has been a good customer for over a year no late & most of the time we pay early on his personal loan. He asked for an extension (first time, never asked for this before in any of our accounts with them) 1 or 2-month. Reason I lost my job. Told them it's short-term because I already got a new job & will start in July. They slapped us with a big NO! Why? Because the problem we have should be "fixed" first before they can process an extension request. If our problem is fixed we would not have called them & asked for an extension. The main logic of extension is to help their customers in tough times. They will wait for the account to be delinquent (because you can't pay) before they help. What sort of policy is that?

    I believe anyone asking for extension has "an ongoing" problem that's the reason customers like us call. So basically even if you do your best to pay on time or early when times get tough and you need help, don't expect for them to help you out. What good is an extension if your problem has been resolved? you won't need an extension if you don't have a problem. Also, their message center is useless! they just email you (not sure if it's a real person or an auto-response) and tell you your concern has been forwarded to a different department that will contact you. But don't expect for that department to call.

Seven calls later, several department transfers later; several country hops later; several different inconsistent responses later to even the simplest questions results in “unfortunately” and “I do apologize” being the trained monkey responses these employees have been scripted to fall back on.

    Communicating with Wells Fargo is like that nightmarish feeling you get of being stuck in quick sand.

    In general I am not satisfied. I have a personal loan through them that until recently I was able to pay. I'm about 1.5 months behind now. They call nonstop. I have explained to them that I have no income at the moment, that I would be homeless and living in my car if not for someone allowing me to live with them but that as such I only have a bedroom to call my own and that I am only buying necessities such as medications, health insurance, gas to get to whatever odd jobs I do find and food. I have told them I need about 11,000.00 worth of urgent but not immediately life-threatening medical procedures done, as well, which has not even been started yet to prioritize paying immediate bills.

    I even told them that I am full time student in good standing, with an internship, who is close to being finished with a good degree in a high paying field explicitly so that I am able to repay loans. After each conversation they say that I do not qualify for Financial Hardship. The last time they called they went through a rather invasive list of questions, which included "encouraging" me to beg friends and family for money and borderline accusing me of spending money on luxuries (which is not the case as I am a minimalist by choice and by nature) to try to "help" me get caught up on payments. I am also severely ADHD and depressed. The depression and anxiety is under control, however the severe ADHD is still in the process of finding the right dosage of medication.

    I'm not one to make excuses, mind you. I have struggled for years to control my ADHD and pay my bills on time, keep my grades up, etc. I couldn't and now I'm getting medicated for it. I would love to show up with a lawyer and shove that in their faces, but I can't afford a lawyer. I don't know what qualifies you for Financial Hardship if telling someone that you're one step away from being homeless and living in your car (which they can't repossess, thankfully! ), while needing medical procedures to keep you from developing life-threatening conditions and battling severe ADHD and keeping depression in check, but still being a good student who will be getting paid well in a little over a year, doesn't.

    WELLS FARGO BANK: LEMMON VALLEY BANK - RENO, NV. I see their TV commercials and Wells Fargo professes to be a refurbished Company by correcting their failures pre-2018, yet they have not resolved my concerns of monies I deposited into my daughters' account by not thoroughly performed the Discovery based on my stated request to ensure that I made my stated deposit after I instructed them to check the videos so that it would show me making the deposit, yet they did not do their discovery on my stated since the only feedback I got was that I was not seen on the videos, since I definitely had the deposit over my stated period and no resolution as to where my deposit when tells me that Wells Fargo either did not do a thorough search of my stated discovery period or Wells Fargo did not check all the 5 or 6 teller videos.

    Since both Branch Managers wanted me to tell them which teller I deposited the money to, they told me up front that it would be a lot of work to check all the tapes. The Branch Manager told that they actually asked all the tellers if they remembered my presence and only teller said she remembered me making a deposit of a lesser amount 15 days earlier, which is correct since I do make routinely each month of 2 different amounts and believe this lends credence to their lack of checking all the tapes.

    Please read the following to get an idea of lack of discovery displayed when they were unable to resolve where my deposit end up, since the thorough search on my daughter's end clearly showed that no receipt was made and I requested the video search since I knew that I had made the deposit on my stated period: On March 14 2018, I deposited $800.00 (20 Dollar bills) into my daughter's account in the local branch at Lemmon Valley, Reno NV and called my daughter to let her know. I have been regularly doing this for the last year or more depositing $200.00 around the first of the month and $800.00 on the second Wednesday of each month. This regularity is due my pension and Social Security payments to my account at my financial institute.

    My daughter later called me when she checked and indicated she did not receive any money at all and submitted a claim to research and see if any monies were deposited to her account for that day and the next day to seek any deposits made for those days. She was told that no deposits of any amount was made for that period from Reno like was usually done twice every month previously. I followed up on my end (Reno) to alert the Assistant Branch Manager (ABM) of my deposit and asked to check their Journals for my deposit.

    After a few days, since they were non-computer available for the next day and half due to a system outage due to rain that had taken out the computers, the ABM told me that they only found one $800 deposit and determined it was another person. I submitted to ABM that maybe the deposit was not made or my recollection of my deposit was based on my personal withdrawal on that day since I only had found my receipts and thru several times I could not find this deposit into my daughter's account. Since I remember that I called my daughter that I made the regular monthly deposit of $800, which she reiterated to me that she was with the kids at the zoo in Phoenix and the call is documented on my phone log.

    I later that day called my other daughter who had worked at the San Francisco Corporate office as a lawyer about what happened and she advised me to ask them to look at the tapes. Since they didn’t find nothing on the Journals that matched the specific day that I believe I made the deposit, I told the ABM that either that my deposit was not sent or sent elsewhere or I didn’t make the deposit on that day, but knew that the tape would show me making the deposit for I know that I made the deposit of $800 dollars first since that’s what I took out from by bank and that’s what I concurred with my daughter in Phoenix that I called and told her I had made that normal amount.

    Since my daughter in Phoenix told me that I had indeed called her the next day on 3/15/18, I told the ABM to check the tapes for the 24 hour period from the time I withdrew the $800 from my bank to the time I called my daughter alerting her to the $800 deposit that I regularly make. This I believe would show that I was in the bank during that period and they should be able to tell where the deposit went. Five days later the ABM called me and told me that they had closed the case and that was all they could tell me. So I called the Corporate Office and told the person what had happened and told me WF had checked the tapes and he told me that he couldn’t reveal what the outcome was, but suggested that I go to the Branch Manager (BM) and reopen the case.

    I talked to the BM and she indicated that she was told not to reopen the case. In talking with her she indicated that she and they had looked at the tapes on March 14 and had not found me, which I told her that I had asked the ABM to check the 24 hour period, since I knew that I was definitely making a deposit during that time period and apparently they researched only the same March 14 period they had researched the Journals when I had told the ABM to check the 24 hour period. The BM also indicated that they surmised that they apparently thought since the period that I believed initially for the Journals was different than the period I asked to look at the tapes for the 24 period that they considered that I was changing my story, but that wasn’t the case for I know I was in there over the 24 hour period and I definitely expected to solve the deposit made when they looked at the tapes.

    Since they didn’t find me in the tapes, I believe they didn’t look at the 24 period and/or they did not look at all the tapes from each of the cameras that are at each teller’s windows, but I have no privy to the research information or the results to feel satisfied with the research and feel that their research was not thorough, since they told me that they didn’t find me on the tapes. And since they wouldn’t tell me the results other than they closed the case, I would hope they are further looking at the case for internal interference or comprise.

    The BM also told me that they had asked the tellers if anyone remembered me making the $800 transaction and only one teller said she had remembered making a transaction, but that was not $800 and was $200, which I also regularly make at first of month, which I do and did make, which I thought was strange when she told me which teller it was that said she remembered me and that is very coincidental?

    Please reopen the case and have an outside agency research the case, since they have not done a thorough investigation, since I made the deposit of $800 and there is no resolution to where my deposit went, since it was not received by my daughter? I would go as far as if WF does not believe me, why close the case and why didn’t WF open up an investigation on me or further look internally?

    I started my first personal checking account at Wells Fargo in 1974, and shortly after my first credit card mostly because the friendly bank teller asked me to apply as a favor for her. As a small business owner I have had a business checking account and small lines of credit with them since 1993. During that time there are complaints that they opened unwanted accounts for consumers. My experiences have been that they were more concerned about selling products whether I needed it or not, but that was what they were encouraged to do. I feel basically Wells considers me as a consumer they want to maximize profits on. That is their business and as a business owner I get that, it's just the way it was done that caused the problem. So should I continue to bank there?

    Their website is pretty good, and the few times I have made small mistakes, a call would usually at least save me their overdraft or whatever fee. They have branches and ATM's all over the place too. They are pretty decent. So why change, it's a hassle contacting all the vendors and personal contacts to change auto pay, ordering new checks, and dealing with future mishaps concerning the banking change. A rival large bank sent me an offer with cash rewards $300 for my business account with restrictions of course, but basically the minimum requirement were not an issue since there were things I already had established in my banking, so of course same free checking I got at Wells, and ATM's galore, but a big plus was the business check deposit app. I don't even have to stop at the ATM. You know just snap a photo; and they can provide a scanner too.

    My business is mostly checks and credit cards, so to be able to deposit checks on my phone is great. Wells didn't offer that. Once I was in the rival bank, (my wife has been with them for about 5 years, they rewarded her too), we discussed all my banking needs which were handled professionally and with an additional $200 reward for opening a savings account with a $15,000 balance, and $500 for opening a pretty decent business credit card with $3,000 purchases in 90 days.

    Before I went to Chase, I asked my Wells Fargo banker if they were serious about the new recommitted campaign, to at least give them a chance, but there was nothing he could do. But I will earn $1,000 with better services. I am not naive to think that Chase does not want to maximize their profits on me also. But our experiences with the bankers in our local branch so far has made us feel they are more concerned about providing excellent service and less on setting up accounts.

Then one of my checks got deposited and then taken out the same day so I called them and they said it wasn't them. It was the maker of the check. Well they lied because the funds became available the next day.

    Now I received a check from a account holder at Wells Fargo (Del Paso Heights) and when I went inside the bank to try and cash it the manager took my ID and my second form of ID which was a credit card, not from them either. I asked for it back and because he couldn't get a hold of the person that wrote me the check that he was going to hang on to my ID. The bank was about to close so I had no other choice but to leave without it. I called Wells Fargo after I left, had asked him why he took my ID and his response was that he was going to give it back to me and that I should come get it so when I did he wasn't there.

    I was a total mess when I started my independent life at 20 years old. I would get overdrafts all the time but would pay them back right away. I didn't even care what the overdraft fees are for; I would just deposit money in my bank right away. But last year I finally become a responsible human being. I became responsible with my credit score (from 502 to 670), stopped getting overdrafts and had a good job. Heck I even went back to school.

    But today I woke up with a lot of notification from Wells Fargo saying my account is in $-167.38. I was shocked so I checked it right away and it was from my $148.37 auto-payment car insurance (which they should take out every 11th of the month that's why it didn't made sense because today is the 15th) and $49.99 auto-payment for internet.

    I called Wells Fargo right away (7:48 am) and asked if they can stop the overdraft fee that they were going to charge me because it looked like there was a mistake with my insurance people. The lady said she can't stop the fee but I can give them a call back then they will give a credit. After that I called my insurance people and they told me the bank needed 48 hours before they charge the payment to my account. So by 10:20 am I went to the bank and deposited $180.00. Then I checked my Wells Fargo app to find out that I still owe them and my account now says $-22.37 so I called them right back and explained everything. They told me I wasn't qualified for a refund and that there's nothing they can do.

    Wells Fargo have been bad with their customers for several years now and they don't have any plan on changing their policies to help customers with their financial problems. So from what I learned from this bull crap if you got a fee from Wells Fargo, it's almost impossible to get it back.

    I found Wells Fargo Mortgage Department to be very helpful and they found loans that fit our needs. I would recommend the mortgage department at the Helena, MT branch any time.

    Wells Fargo is deceptive bank and I will never use them again. One time they didn't even send me notice that a CD was coming due. They rolled it over into a very low rate for five years and refused to do anything about it.

    I don't know if I will continue using Wells Fargo. It takes a lot longer for transactions to go through than most banks. They continue to hold check forever so the customers pay a lot of bank fees. And the automated system is the most aggravating I've ever used.

    I pay Wells Fargo twice a month and they don't like accepting partial payments. Rodney ** at Wells Fargo 800 85 38516 ext ** said IF, Wells Fargo takes the money out of my account it will work but if I want to split my payment myself, it is difficult for them. They charge late fees when you have paid on time and then tell you it is a courtesy to reverse the late fee. Where is customer service these days? What happened to putting the customer first or maybe even second or third. The only thing Wells Fargo cares about it the bottom line. Sad but true!

    Member about 4 years, yes I have made many mistakes in my account but instead of them ever helping me and waiving the fees, they charge a fee for overdrafts, for transferring money from one account to another, for anything they can charge a fee for. I just told them to close my account and I have transferred my 2 allotments to another bank. I personally think this bank is trying to recoup monies from its members to make up for the losses with all the fraud going on within their company recently. They do not care about the customer at all. I hope they do close down, it would be an advantage to the consumer.

    We have been Wells Fargo customers for over 20 years. During that time their customer service has degraded. With the advent of online banking there is a certain amount of added convenience but the loan process (mortgage or otherwise) is very impersonal and without deviation with regards to understanding a customer's needs and concerns.

    I tried to pay my car payment early online through Capital One and my scheduled payment ended up coming out of my account as well by mistake so I paid twice for the month and overdrew my account and received an overdraft fee. I tried to get it resolved by putting in a claim and they put the claim on the scheduled payment and couldn’t do anything about it which I understand, so when I called again to get a claim done for the other manual charge Katie was so rude to me, and made me feel stupid. All I needed was one of the payments canceled and the overdraft fees canceled as well for an honest mistake. I’ve been a customer with Wells Fargo for so long and I’ve never had an issue getting a payment canceled in the rare occasion it’s happened. Thanks Wells Fargo for not helping me with my issue and embarrassing me because now I need to borrow money until I get paid next.

    My mother had an investment account that was set up to transfer on death to my sister and I. My sister set up a Wells Fargo account to receive her mutual funds. I asked that mine be transferred to Morgan Stanley. My sister received her funds on a Thursday. As of the following Tuesday mine had not posted at Morgan Stanley. I finally spoke to a rep who said the ability to transfer to an outside bank was a new process and there had been an error. On what planet is that okay? This wasn't a tee shirt from Eddie Bauer.

    You're a bank. Handling money and investments is what you do. Its all you do. Did you not test the new process? Where I work we always test new processes before implementing them. Meanwhile as I waited for mutual funds I had no intention of holding in kind the market dropped over 500 points. The rep did try to say sorry but I wasn't interested in an apology. Just wanted to have control over my assets. Still not convinced Wells Fargo isn't slow rolling transfers to outside financial institutions.

    My dad died 20 years ago. I set up an account to handle the trust (I am the trustee). I recently sold the trust assets and wanted to close the account. They said I needed my dad to come in (he is dead). Then I needed to bring in his death certificate (don’t have it). My dad never opened the account, never signed the account and all I wanted to do was close the account so it didn’t continue to rack up monthly negative charges.

    The branch manager said “no can do”, the charges will continue to rack up and affect my credit score and nothing can be done, until I locate a death certificate. They don’t have my dead fathers ss. # (only mine), or his signature (obviously, he was dead for 20 years), or his address or anything… Only his name on the account (along with mine). They wouldn’t let me remove my name from the account. So, they did everything to block any kind of customer satisfaction. So, I opened the account, yet I can’t close it Smaller banks would give me personal care and also have common sense. This was from my accountant, "You said Trust has been dissolved, but the bank account is still open and Wells Fargo charges a minimum of $15 each month. I paid out almost all monies at 12/31, as we have done in the past. You will have to either put money in the account to cover bank fees or close the account."

    The Bank has lock down our Safety Deposit Box over an issue our son is having with the state. They claim it will be on hold for two years. When dealing with the local branch, they acted as if they could do nothing. I gave them a demand for paperwork and they originally refused. This is paperwork we signed ourselves the box was open. When we sent a letter to the Operations Compliant Manager located in No. Cal, their main statement back to us was that they complied with the State Order by notifying us of the impound last year. We actually never heard of this until this year when my wife was denied access to the Box.

    To shorten this statement, allow me to tell you they sent us documents to our home. The State of California listed our home address on paperwork they gave to the bank. But, the so called compliance by Wells Fargo from last year was sent to and address that we have not had for ten years and in fact, it is no longer in active in the City of Cypress. I sent myself a letter to that address and it was returned to sender. The second issue this bank keeps bring up is that we need to talk with the State. Well, we are not part of this issue with the State and they will not talk to us. When the complaint people sent us copies of the State's documents, they failed to sent one of them. Yes, it was the document that was given to the bank by the State that actually deals with the bank contacting the State if this issue with our son has anything to do with a "Safety Deposit Box".

    Finally, I pointed out to them proof that we never received a notice last year, they failed to give us the Safety Deposit Box paperwork and the biggest issue is that we put this Box in our Trust about 8 - 10 years ago at the direction of a local bank employee. We did just that on a Saturday many years ago but somehow they lost the paperwork and we just now found that it was never done. Since one of the items in our Box is our "Federal Passports" and we are not part of this issue, maybe I should show up with "Federal Banking Regulators" and get our personal property.

    I entered the Savannah Georgia Branch of Wells Fargo on Abercorn St and Magnolia Ave just to change my ATM card pin. Was told that branches don't change pins anymore if I didn't know my current pin. They said to call the 800 number on my card, which I did and was told the branches can change it to go back inside and give my phone to customer service. I complied and customer service told online banker as of February 2018 branches no longer change pins. Online suggested I file a complaint. When I did so branch manager accused me of kicking a desk and slamming the Hydraulic door. I'm really upset about this discriminatory behavior and will take this to the highest level of satisfaction.
