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 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.
As of today shows it was sent from my bank account but has not come through to Wells Fargo yet. This seems to be an awfully slow process haha

Yeah, it's slow. I wonder because it's a new account. I just checked now (Wed. after close of business) and still $0 on my WF account. : \

Once it does transfer through and I eventually get to beyond the $500 threshold to avoid the monthly fee, I wonder what the speed will be transferring money back. When I transfer between my Chase and Capital One accounts, it's much faster.

It has to be DD totaling $1000, not just $1

It takes around 3-4 business days to show up in other bank. I did a Bofa on 2/27 and it showed up in Wells today. I still have to see if it qualifies as DD

That's good you're seeing it now from Mon. I did mine from Chase last Fri. and today it is still not appearing in my WF account. That's a crazy long delay. I'll of course check again tomorrow. BTW, transfers don't count as DD.

So.... The $25 initial deposit never got credited to my new Checking account. I see where Wells Fargo took the money days ago from my external account. So I call and they say it's a glitch and they are getting lots of calls about this. I had to file a claim to get my $25 deposited. Had I not "noticed" it, the $25 would have been lost (Wells Fargo profit). Many of you were right when you said this was a shady bank. I'm really seeing it now ...

Yeah, looks like transfer may not count. But the other site mentioned that it counted for few users. Lets see, if it does not go through then will try something else.

My transfer finally showed up today from Chase to WF with yesterday's post date. 1 full week (no holidays) is excessive time, but I guess better late than never. The next "milestone" will be to see if next Friday's scheduled direct deposit comes through on my WF. And yes, I still don't think transfers will count as DD.

I did the initial deposit by directly visiting branch next day. That I guess will be best in case ppl are still waiting for a transfer to show up!
