On its personal banking side, Wells Fargo offers checking, savings, Money Market, Certificate of Deposit (CD) and IRA accounts, in addition to mortgage and consumer loans. One of its most popular checking account options comes with a debit card, as well as a monthly service fee unless minimum balance requirements are met. The bank pushes its student checking account in a combo package with its savings account to encourage saving, and Wells Fargo partners with colleges to provide students the ability to use its debit card for both on and off campus transactions. Savings account options come with minimal interest rates on basic savings, retirement savings, and even retirement savings accounts. Money Market accounts offered by the bank have a minimum daily balance requirement and come with very low interest rates.

Wells Fargo corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, California, while Wells Fargo Bank is headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The bank operates through thousands of branches located through the United States.
I have been with Wells Fargo for 2 months, they are really great! At first, I was a little scared because of the scam history but I opened an account and NOTHING but excellent service! My money is always on time, or early! I love the 24/7 customer service, every customer Representative I spoke to was extremely polite and professional. I do wish there was a lot more locations in Delaware! Online/mobile banking app is GREAT! No complaints there. I LOVE Wells Fargo!!! They are a outstanding bank!!! They have my service forever. There is NO long time wait time either which is awesome, All of my questions are answered at that moment. The debit card design selection is neat as well. 5 stars from me I recommend them to everyone!!!
Wells Fargo is a great bank !! If I overdraft and have a direct deposit coming the next day from my check they NEVER charge me an overdraft fee and if they do they reverse it automatically and send me an email. I also bank with Chase Bank and there is no Chase Bank in MN so if I overdraft for $3.00 they will still charge me for $35.00. They will only credit you once per year (as a customer courtesy !!). In the interim, if you overdraft with Chase Bank they will keep charging you -- their customer service is terrible !!!! Wells Fargo is the best bank around !!!!
I needed a branch close to my house, as I closed Alaska FCU checking account, after 10 years, website was bad, out of date, no linking accounts, app doesnt let you deposit checks, it just didnt work anymore, and nearest branch is 40 minute drive from my house on a good day no traffic, as they closed the one nearest to me, so I decided to try Wells Fargo since most of my family banks there for years and have great comments to say about them. Wow, i am impressed, customer service is great, i called twice and super helpful and nice, mobile app is superb, on line UI nice. No issues so far, WF ATM about 5 min away so i never pay ATM fees. I can deposit cash, and use the app to deposit checks. I linked Ally Bank & WF and no issues (checking account at both). I also linked my HYSA (Marcus & Capital One) no issues. WF is very convenient for me. Alot of people are negative about WF, but so far so good.
I have been with wells fargo since 2008 and have never really had anuy issues any time i have any issues they are quick to help me out too
