not here. haven;t had an acct w these dirtbags in 10+ yrs. opening it online I got a "more info is needed, go to a branch" so.. get f'ed WF
I don't like WF with all illegal crap they have pulled recently.

That said they are the 3rd or 4th biggest bank the USA & in the top 20 in the world. They are not going out of biz soon.
how long before we can close this account after receiving bonus

Thanks, I tried again and it eventually went through and I can access the account. I haven't received confirmation about the transfer yet. I got an email warning about a $0 balance. I'll wait until Monday to see if the funds have at least been taken out from my source Bank account.

What bank did you try?

EDIT: CONFIRMED FIDELITY BROKERAGE ACCT AND FIDELITY CASH MARKET ACCT PUSH WORKS!

Same thing happened to me. I took advance of a similar offer back in 2015 or so and closed account after 6 months of receiving the offer. Now try to do it again, and they asked to come to a bank. What a bummer!

Same here. I opened a checking account online in 2017 and closed it about 10 months later. Just submitted an application and got a message saying that they couldn't verify my info and that I need to visit a branch

I opened account yesterday via link from OP post and it was $325. For double check, just open the OP link and it is still $325.

Do anyone having issue with their site/mobile app?

I couldn't do the "Deposit Check" from iOS app. And it doesn't allow me to set up Zelle.

Even weirder is that it kept asking to change user name and password. I did two times this morning already.

With my Chase account and so far it hasn't been deducted from there yet. I'll call WF tomorrow to see if they can see if it's process. I don't want to do it again and then two transfers go through.

WF extended the offer to 4/10/23.

By the way .. anybody has an issue not seeing the initial deposit made during acct online opening?
I opened mine on 2/25 with ACH funding (provide the routing and acct #) at acct opening. But as of today 2/28, there is no pending transaction on both WF or my other bank.

I wonder if this made me ineligible for the signing bonus.
PS I applied when the offer has an expiration date of 2/28.

I'm having this issue too, I did a 1k deposit from robinhood and that cleared & shows as direct deposit but the initial $25 deposit I set up from my BofA isn't showing. I wonder if I missed some step? It's weird, I remember putting $25 + my routing and account numbers and afaik the initial $25 deposit is a requirement and not an optional step for opening an account.

How about today (2/28)? I checked my Chase account during the day and it showed the withdrawal for the amount I used when I created my WF account. My WF account still shows a $0 balance, but I assume by Wed. or Thurs. at the latest, it should appear there. I also set up the direct deposit with my employer while it's on my mind to this WF account.
