Open an Everyday Checking account** with a minimum opening deposit of $25 from this offer webpage. Complete the qualifying requirements to receive your $325 bonus. This offer is for new checking customers only.

1. Open
Open a new Everyday Checking account from this offer webpage with a minimum opening deposit of $25, by May 22, 2023.

Or open a new eligible checking account at a Wells Fargo branch with a minimum opening deposit of $25 by May 22, 2023. You must provide the bonus offer code to the banker at the time of account opening.

2. Deposit
Receive a total of $1,000 or more in qualifying direct deposits to your new checking account within 90 calendar days of account opening (the qualification period).

3. Enjoy
Once the 90-day qualification period has elapsed, we will determine if you have met the offer requirements and will deposit any earned bonus into your new checking account within 30 days.


**The Wells Fargo Everyday Checking account monthly service fee is $10. Minimum opening deposit is $25.

The monthly service fee can be avoided with one of the following each fee period:
$500 minimum daily balance
$500 or more in total qualifying direct deposits
A qualifying direct deposit is an ACH (Automated Clearing House) automatic electronic deposit of your salary, pension, Social Security, or other regular income into your bank account. Confirm with your employer or the agency or company making these payments that they use the ACH network.
Transfers from one account to another, mobile deposits, or deposits made at a branch or ATM don't qualify.
Direct deposits made available early with Early Pay Day will not count towards applicable options to avoid your account's monthly service fee until the deposit posts to your account and is no longer pending (e.g., the pay date scheduled by your payor).
Primary account owner is 17-24 years old. (When the primary account owner reaches the age of 25, age can no longer be used to avoid the monthly service fee.).
Linked to a Wells Fargo Campus ATM Card or Campus Debit Card.
Eligibility is based on university and college participation in the Wells Fargo Campus Card℠ program. Ask a banker or visit wellsfargo.com/campuscard for additional details.

Important Note: "Qualifying direct deposit", a bonus offer requirement and way to avoid the monthly service fee on the Everyday Checking account will include additional qualifying electronic deposits effective April 24, 2023. For details about additional qualifying electronic deposits, please see the "Consumer Account Addenda".

Eligibility Requirements:
This offer is for new checking customers only. All Wells Fargo consumer checking accounts are eligible for this offer with the exception of checking accounts offered by Wells Fargo Private Bank.
You must use your bonus offer code at account opening when you apply for a new eligible Wells Fargo checking account.
You are not eligible for this offer if:
You are a current owner of a Wells Fargo consumer checking account
You have received a bonus for opening a Wells Fargo consumer checking account within the past 12 months
You are a Wells Fargo employee

Bonus Requirements:
Open a new Wells Fargo consumer checking account with a minimum opening deposit of $25 by May 22, 2023. All account applications are subject to approval.
Within 90 calendar days of account opening (the "qualification period"), receive a total of $1,000 or more in qualifying direct deposits to your new checking account.
A qualifying direct deposit is an ACH (Automated Clearing House) automatic electronic deposit of your salary, pension, Social Security, or other regular income into your bank account. Confirm with your employer or the agency or company making these payments that they use the ACH network.
Transfers from one account to another, mobile deposits, or deposits made at a branch or ATM don't qualify as a direct deposit.
A direct deposit made available early with Early Pay Day does not count toward the bonus requirements until it posts to your account and is no longer pending (e.g. the pay date scheduled by your payor).

Bonus Payment:
Once the 90-day qualification period has elapsed, we will determine if you have met the offer requirements, and will deposit any earned bonus into your new checking account within 30 days.
The new checking account must remain open throughout the 90-day qualification period and at the time we attempt to deposit any earned bonus payment. Please note that an account with a zero balance may be closed by us without prior notice, as further described in the Deposit Account Agreement.
You are responsible for any federal, state, or local taxes due on the bonus and we will report as income to the tax authorities if required by applicable law. Consult your tax advisor.

Additional Terms and Conditions:
Offer expires May 22, 2023. However, offer may be discontinued or changed at any time prior to the expiration date without notice.
Offer cannot be:
Paid without a valid U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (Form W-9 for U.S. persons including a resident alien). Non-resident aliens, signing Form W-8 are not eligible for the offer.
Combined with any other consumer deposit offer (limit one bonus per customer/account).
Reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded.
The actions required to earn this bonus are separate and distinct from the options available to you to avoid any applicable monthly service fee for the checking account you opened.
Talk with a banker or see the "Consumer Account Fee and Information Schedule" and "Deposit Account Agreement" for complete checking account details, including the applicable monthly service fee and options to avoid it.

Quote from slickdealrocker :
I went to the Bank since Online it was saying identity not verified. The banker was very rude and told she cannot Apply the offer until I am a US Citizen or Green Card Holder. I have never faced such situation before and have multiple checking accounts at other banks. Although she offered to open the account without bonus which I refused.

From the terms and conditions.
"Offer cannot be:
Paid without a valid U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (Form W-9 for U.S. persons including a resident alien). Non-resident aliens, signing Form W-8 are not eligible for the offer."

She was telling form W9 is ONLY for US Citizens whereas its written here its also for Resident Aliens.

I have a SSN and valid DL. Planning to apply at a different branch on Monday, has anyone faced this before ?? Any Tips ??

Same here. Please let us know updates

So dumb. Gave them all my info (name address email ssn DL# phone # etc.) and still got a 'we couldn't verify your information'... Asking me to go into a branch, which we have no local branches. YMMV apparently. Feels like a personal data/info grab...

Has anyone routed their direct deposit to their spouse's bank account (without your name on the account)? My wife's direct deposit is harder to change than mines so wondering if I could deposit some of my paycheck to her bank account to get the bonus.

Done several times. No issues

Got a question for those that are familiar with these promos or bank with Wells Fargo.

It says once I've met the requirements for the bonus within 90 days, the "earned bonus" will be deposited into the new checking account. Is the so called "earned bonus" a cash deposit, or is it like something in the form of points or credits where you can use to purchase things?

I believe it's a cash deposit bonus, and in the following year, it's going to be reported to IRS as a 1099-INT tax form.

Direct deposit needs to be an electronic deposit of your paycheck, pension or government benefits (such as Social Security) from your employer or the government. Person to Person payments (such as Zelle®) are not considered a direct deposit.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps Citizens bank. When opening both checking and savings accounts, you can get $600 bonus.
To get a checking account bonus , simply set up a direct deposit for $500.
And for savings bonus - deposit $200 for the 3 consequent months.
Note that for the checking bonus, it needs to be a direct deposit. However, for savings account bonuses, it can be a regular deposit (transfers from other banks, etc.).

What is this SUB deflation? What happened to $400?

IMO, since bank account bonuses are subject to tax, anything less than $400 is not worth the effort.

Wells Fargo is a superior bank. They also upped their game for clearing payroll on thursday instead of Friday (ala Chime etc).

The only thing you won't get from Wells Fargo is interest. If you got large stacks of cash, you want that to idle elsewhere. But for moving money, I've never found any bank even remotely similar let alone better than Wells Fargo.

They take forever to deposit your bonus after meeting their criteria. It's crazy

Would you qualify for this bonus if you already have an account and open a new one?
