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.

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.

I just received my deposit of $325. I opened the account on 2/15/23 and made a $25 cash deposit days after at the ATM after receiving my debit card. I will be withdrawing the cash and closing the account today.

$1000 deposit or did you do slightly a little more?

Opened my account 2/23. Made $1k worth of paycheck deposits on 3/15. Still have no bonus showing in my account on 6/15.

I've still got some time before I'm outisde of the 30days (After the initial 90 days) where the bonus should be credited, but I'm calling Wells Fargo now.

Judging from the post in here it sounds like people who opened their accounts after me have already gotten their bonuses..

Just called and of course the rep couldn't find any record of my promotional code and my potential bonus.

She had to submit some sort of internal form and said someone would have to get back to me within 10 business days. Smh.

Hope it works out. You didn't get a document after signing up? Wife and I got ours, used and closed accounts over the phone.

Thanks for the note, I dug through my emails and found my approved application document that shows the bonus should have been tied to my acccount. Now I just have to figured out who to get this to at Wells Fargo.

Did you have to call and do this for your bonus or was it automatically applied?

My wife had it automatically applied first even though she opened it later so I got a little anxious and asked about mine. They confirmed the offer was there and to wait the 30 days, but 2 days later I got it.

WF is a joke. I made two accounts by mistake and they wouldn't refund me my initial deposit money that was pulled from my BoA on an account that I cancelled. After numerous phone calls, I had to go into their branch and still wouldn't admit they had the money even though it was an ACH pull from my other bank. I'll be closing my WF active account as soon as I receive this bonus. Can't trust this bank with my money at all.

Here are just a few of their recent scandals...

March 2017: The bank reaches a $110 million settlement to compensate affected customers in its fake accounts scandal.

August 2017: Wells Fargo clarifies that it created as many as 3.5 million fraudulent bank accounts between 2009 and 2016.

February 2018: The Federal Reserve takes unprecedented action against Wells Fargo by setting an asset cap for the institution at $1.95 trillion in assets until it "sufficiently improves its governance and controls," the Fed said in a statement. It was the first time the Fed imposed a cap on the entire assets of a financial institution. The Fed also forced the bank to remove three board members. As of Nov. 16, 2022, the bank was still under its asset cap.

April 2018: Wells Fargo is fined more than $1 billion for unethical conduct in its mortgage and auto loans businesses. The CFPB found that the bank overcharged consumers on mortgage interest rates and unfairly added insurance policies that tacked on additional costs to borrowers' auto loans.

August 2018: Wells Fargo pays a $2.1 billion penalty for its role in the 2008 housing crisis. The Justice Department found that the bank lied to investors about the creditworthiness of the mortgage loans it sold them.

February 2020: The Justice Department and the SEC fine Wells Fargo $3 billion for its fake accounts scandal.

September 2021: Wells Fargo pays $72.6 million to settle Justice Department lawsuits after the agency found the bank overcharged hundreds of currency exchange customers. The bank would give customers "false explanations" about the erroneous fees it added to the cost to swap currencies.

December 2022: The CFPB orders Wells Fargo to pay $1.7 billion in fines and $2 billion in consumer redress in connection with "illegal activity" across several of its product lines.

I think I figured out what happened with mine. I opened account on 2/25, however the intitial deposit didn't post to my Wells Fargo checking account until 3/2.

Terms of the offer read: "Open a new Wells Fargo consumer checking account with a minimum opening deposit of $25 by February 27, 2023. All account applications are subject to approval."

Now the question is - even though I opened the account by 2/27 deadline, Since the initial deposit didn't offically post until 3/2 - did I miss out?

Not much of a hassle for me, filled out application. Did the initial deposit of $25 and the direct deposit.

Waited 90 days and a few days ago got my bonus.

Now working on the Truist bonus.
