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 Sumt0n3 :
Just got all my bonus from Chase and need to open another bank for promos. Any recommendation that's of higher value than this?
Quote from SelimR :
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.).
Do not do citizens bank. I did their last promo, satisfied all conditions, no bonus given, zero response from them when contacted.

5 years ago, I'd think this is a slick and smart deal. Not now. Not just a knock on Wells, its industry, marketwide. And in this deal you dont even have a prayer cc dispute. Its just this new gen is looking at business differently, and theyre aware of the power they have and the range they can operate in. Like, dont think, its wells, look at all this paperwork, of course theyll pay out. No, no they wont. And they dont care if you leave, they;'' just trade disgruntled customers with chase. And know eventually you might be forced to try them again. Especially if they make an offer like this.

Wells Fargo is seriously one of the worst banks of all time. Nobody expects a bank to be warm and cuddly, but Wells Fargo is greedy, manipulative, dishonest, and exploitative.

They should have been broken up and sold off after the crimes they've been caught committing.

Bleed em for a few hundred bucks and then run for the hills.

I opened account online today and entered the offer code I received in mail.
During application signing process, It shown a different offer code being applied to my application.
Just to be safe, I called them and found the online application process replaced the original offer code I entered, with a new code that doesnt have any benefits. If I would have not called, I continue to do all their recommended steps, only to realize I wont be getting the promo amount at the end of 90 days. Not sure if they are doing it deliberately to deny the promo amount. New official banking scam to attract funds with out any cost.
Please cross check and verify.

In either case, this experience isnt giving good confidence of banking with them. Stay cautious with Wellsfargo.

Log in to your company's WorkDay and go to "Payslips". There you'll find options for splitting up your DD to different banks. They'll let you route portions of your paycheck up to 4 different banks.

They gave me a different code when they requested more info by coming into the branch. The code was the same promo though. I confirmed with the bank rep and customer service. That's strange if it's swapping it out for another code.

I've done this promo a couple times already.

Their chat and call line is completely useless. I applied online and my account is active, but they can't confirm that the code that got pulled in automatically is the correct one. Even after opening the account they couldn't tell me whether a bonus was tied to it, she said I would need to wait at least 10 days to confirm lol

My personal experience with Wellsfargo tells me to never trust them again. Good luck to those who want to give it a try. 🤞

I would like to join everyone saying Wells Fargo is terrible. I signed up for the $525 bonus if you have $25K in the account for 2 months.

They have a max transfer of $5K and so you have to go to the bank. I did that and they put a hold on my check for two days and then closed my account after the check cleared putting the balance over $25K.

So open this with $1k, have my direct deposit go there for 3 months, get the $325 and then move it all back to my BofA account and close. What is the fee to close the account?
