your Account
and will apply to your Card’s daily ATM withdrawal
limit. We m
ay reimburse that fee, in whole or in part, if allowed by
the terms
of your Account.
Merchant and
third party fees
Some mercha
nts may assess a fee when you use your Card for
a purchase
or for cash back. This fee will be included in the total
purchase am
ount and will apply to your Card’s daily purchase
limit. You
may also be charged a fee by other banks and nancial
institutio
ns for cash disbursements at their branches. That fee
may be add
ed to your total disbursement and will apply to your
Card’s daily
ATM withdrawal limit.
ATM and merch
ant terminal malfunctions
We are not re
sponsible for damages resulting from an ATM
or merchant terminal malfunction, except to the extent that
malfunction results in an error (see page 6 for Regulation E
provisions).
WellsFargo ATMs in Assisted-Service mode
Some WellsFargo ATMs in branches can operate in Assisted-
Service mode” during branch hours. When in Assisted-Service
mode, the ATM screen’s main menu will display an “I need
assistance” option. Note: When using a Wells Fargo ATM in
Assisted-Service mode, your Card’s daily ATM withdrawal limit
may not apply, and you may be able to access and perform
transactions on some of your consumer deposit accounts that
are not linked to your Card.
Note: If you are accessing a Wells Fargo ATM in Assisted-Service
mode using a Mobile Device, see “Using Your Card Through a
Mobile Device” for more details.
Linking accounts for Card access and designating a primary
account
Linking lets you add accounts you own (e.g., checking or
savings accounts) to a debit or ATM Card, giving you access
to make transactions on multiple accounts with one Card at
WellsFargo ATMs. At most Wells Fargo ATMs, you have access
to Accounts linked to your Card.
If you link only one account of a single type (e.g., checking
or savings accounts) to the Card, that linked account is
automatically designated as the “primary” linked account for
purposes of electronic fund transfer services. A debit Card
must have at least one checking account linked, designated
as primary checking. The money for purchases and payments
made with your Card is deducted from the primary linked
account. The money for purchases made with your ATM Card
is deducted from the primary checking account; if no checking
account is linked, it is deducted from the primary savings
account. Cash withdrawals using a Card at a participating non-
WellsFargo ATM may be deducted from the primary checking
or savings account. Note: Not all ATM operators support
display of more than one type of account.
If you link more than one account of a single type to the
Card, you may designate a primary linked account and other
accounts.
If you do not designate a primary linked account, the
rst account of that type linked to your Card is considered the
primary linked account. If a primary linked account is closed
or delinked for any reason, we will generally designate a linked
secondary account of the same account type (if applicable) as the
new primary account. If the only other linked account is a savings
account and there are no other eligible checking accounts to be
linked as primary checking, your debit Card will be closed and you
can request an ATM Card. You may link a new primary account
of a dierent type (consumer, business, individual brokerage,
or commercial brokerage), than the previous primary linked
account. Depending on the new primary linked account, you may
be issued a new card type. We will determine the number and
type of accounts you can link to your Card.
Using a Card to access linked credit card and line of credit
accounts at ATMs
If you link your WellsFargo credit card account or eligible line of
credit account (linked credit account) to your debit/ATM Card,
you may use the Card to access the linked credit account at most
Wells Fargo ATMs.
You can use
the Card to obtain cash or transfer funds from the
linked credit account, as long as the linked credit account is in
good standing and has available credit. Cash withdrawals and
transfers of funds from your linked credit account are treated
as cash advances. Each of these transactions is subject to the
provisions of the applicable credit card account agreement or
line of credit account agreement, including daily limits and cash
advance fees.
You must notify us in case of errors or questions about your
WellsFargo credit card bill. If you think your bill is wrong or if you
need more information about a transaction on your bill, write to
us or call us at the address or telephone number listed on your
credit card account statement. However, you must write to us to
preserve your billing rights. Please consult your applicable credit
account agreement for complete information on the terms and
conditions applicable to your linked credit account, including
the rules related to cash advances from, and payments to, your
linked credit accounts.
Daily limits and funds available for using your Card
You may use
your Card subject to 1) your daily purchase limit and
daily ATM withdrawal limit, and 2) your Available Balance in your
Account. The following rules apply:
Limits on dollar
amounts:
Your Card’s daily purchase limit is the maximum U.S. dollar
amount of purchases (including cash back, if any) that can
be authorized each day from your primary linked Account,
less merchant fees, if any. Note: If you use your Card or Card
number to fund a digital wallet, brokerage, or other type of
account, these Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) will
count against your Card’s daily purchase limit (AFTs may also
be limited by the applicable card network).
- If your daily purchase limit is more than $99,999, you may
ask that the merchant process multiple transactions to
complete a purchase above this amount.
Your Card’s daily ATM withdrawal limit is the maximum
amount of cash you can withdraw each day from any
combination of accessible Accounts using your Card, less any
fees charged by the non-Wells Fargo ATM operator or third
party, if applicable.
4
-
When you use a Wells Fargo ATM in Assisted-Service mode,
your Card’s daily ATM withdrawal limit may not apply.
The limits for your Card: We provide you your daily ATM
withdrawal and purchase limits when you receive your Card. You
can conrm your Card’s daily limits by signing on to WellsFargo
Online or the Wells Fargo Mobile® app, or calling us at the
number listed in the “Contact Us” section. Note: For security
reasons there may be additional limits on the amount, number,
or type of transactions you can make using your Card, including
the geographic location of the ATM or merchant.
Changes to your Card limits: We may, without telling you,
increase your Card’s daily purchase or ATM withdrawal
limit based on Account history, activity, and other factors.
If we decrease the limits of your Card, we will notify you in
accordance with applicable law.
Available Balance: Your “Available Balance” is the most current
record we have about funds that are available for withdrawal
from Accounts accessible using your Card. You may use your
Card as often as you want each day as long you stay within
your daily ATM withdrawal limit and daily purchase limit, and
you have sucient Available Balance in any of your Accounts
used
for withdrawal. If using your Card to perform an ATM
transaction or purchase would create an Overdraft on the
Account, we may take actions described in the section of this
brochure titled “Creating an Overdraft Using Your Card.
Note: Your current Available Balance may not yet reect all of
the transactions you have made, including but not limited to a
Card purchase that the merchant has not yet transmitted to
us, or a check you wrote that has not been cashed by the payee.
For more information about how your Available Balance is
calculated, please refer to your Deposit Account Agreement.
Authorizations: When we approve a transaction or purchase,
we call that an “authorization.” We may limit the number of
authorizations we allow during a period of time (e.g., if we
notice out-of-pattern use of your Card, or suspected fraudulent
or unlawful activity). For security reasons, we cannot explain
the details of the authorization system. If we do not authorize
the payment, we may notify the person who attempted the
payment that has been refused. We will not be responsible for
failing to give an authorization.
Partia
l authorization for Card transactions: If a Card purchase
amount exceeds the current Available Balance in the primary
linked
checking or savings Account when you are making a
purchase, you may be able to use your Available Balance to
pay for a portion of the total purchase. The transaction will be
subject to a partial authorization daily purchase limit set by us
and your Card’s daily dollar limit. We will rst try to approve the
full amount of the purchase with the available funds in your
checking account, account(s) linked for Overdraft Protection,
and, if enrolled, using Debit Card Overdraft Service. If we do
not approve the full amount of the purchase, we may approve
a portion of the purchase using the remaining available funds
in your checking account. This is called a “partial authorization.
The remaining amount of the purchase total would need to be
covered by another form of payment, such as cash or another
card. If you are unable/unwilling to provide an additional
form of payment, the partial authorization will be reversed
by the merchant. Not all merchants are able to accept partial
authorizations or process transactions using multiple forms of
payment.
Illegal transactions and internet gambling
You must not use your Card or Account for any illegal purpose.
You must not use your Card or Account to fund any account
that is set up to facilitate internet gambling, except certain
government (or state) owned lotteries and certain government
licensed online casinos and horse/dog racing. In our discretion,
we may allow or deny transactions or authorizations from
merchants who are apparently engaged in or who are identied
as engaged in the internet gambling business.
Ending your Card use
Your Card is our property. We may cancel or suspend your Card
or Card banking access at any time without notice to you (for
example, if you fail to activate your Card). We may decide not
to issue a Card to you or replace your Card (for example, if the
Card has not been used for a prolonged period of time). You
may cancel your Card at any time by calling the number on the
back of your Card. If the Card is canceled, you must pay for any
Card transactions made before the Card is canceled, and you will
immediately destroy the Card after it is canceled.
You can monitor your Card transactions:
• Keep track of your transactions with online or mobile banking.
• Get c
ard activity alerts delivered by email, push notication,
or text. Sign-up may be required. Availability may be aected
by your mobile carrier’s coverage area. Your mobile carrier’s
message and data rates may apply.
• Review your account statements regularly to verify
transactions.
USING YOUR CARD THROUGH A MOBILE DEVICE
If you make debit Card transactions through a Mobile Device,
these Terms and Conditions apply. When you use your debit Card
with your Mobile Device for transactions:
Avail
ability may be aected by your mobile carrier’s coverage
area, and your mobile carrier may charge you message and data
rates, or other fees.
Some
(but not all) digital wallets require your Mobile Device to
be NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled and to have the
separate wallet app available.
Your debit Card information is sent across wireless and
compu
ter networks.
Information about your Mobile Device may be transmitted
to us
.
You should secure the Mobile Device the same as you would
your cash, checks, credit cards, and other valuable information.
We encourage you to password protect or lock your Mobile
Device to help prevent an unauthorized person from using it.
Please notify us promptly if your Mobile Device containing your
Digital Card Number is lost or stolen. See “Contact Us” section.
When you make a purchase or payment using your Mobile
Device, the merchant may not provide an option for cashback.
Some Wells Fargo ATMs within secure locations may require a
physical Card for entry.
You can access WellsFargo ATMs by holding your Mobile
Device close to the Contactless Symbol.
When you access a Wells Fargo ATM with your Mobile Device
and Card PIN, you can perform only one monetary transaction
per visit, such as a cash withdrawal or funds transfer.
If you are accessing a Wells Fargo ATM in Assisted-Service
mode using your Mobile Device, your Card’s daily ATM
5
withdra
wal limit will apply and you will not be able to access
accounts that are not linked to your Card.
We may automatically provide third-party digital wallet
operators with updated Digital Card Number information, such
as when your Card is replaced or re-issued.
In certain circumstances (such as when you set up recurring
payments to a subscription service), another unique identier
may be generated from your Digital Card Number to be used
for Card transactions.
When you use your debit Card with your Mobile Device for
transactions, third parties (such as merchants, card association
networks, mobile carriers, digital wallet operators, mobile device
manufacturers, and software application providers) may 1) use
and receive your Digital Card Number and information about
your Card transactions as necessary to eect, administer, or
enforce the Card transaction, and 2) receive information about
your Mobile Device. The third-party digital wallet operator may
use this information to display it to you or for its own purposes
according to the terms, conditions, and other agreements that
the digital wallet operator may require you to accept. Please
refer to the third-party digital wallet operator’s privacy policy
and terms and conditions for more detail about how the digital
wallet
operator will use and retain your information, as well as
to review any fees that the third-party digital wallet operator
may charge. We are not responsible for a third party’s privacy
practices or level of security. If a third-party digital wallet
operator displays a history of Card transactions made through
your Mobile Device, you understand that the third-party
transaction history does not reect complete information about
your Card transactions.
If you are enrolled in Overdraft Protection and/or Debit
Card Overdraft Service, those terms will apply to debit Card
transactions made through a Mobile Device. For additional
information, please see the section titled “Creating an Overdraft
Using Your Card.
We may, at any time, partially or fully restrict your ability to
make debit Card transactions through a Mobile Device. We may
also modify or terminate a debit Card’s eligibility to be added
to a Mobile Device, as well as our participation with any third-
party digital wallet operator. If you want to remove your Digital
Card Number from your Mobile Device, please contact us. See
“Contact
Us” section.
UNDERSTA
NDING AUTHORIZATION HOLDS FOR CARD
TRANSACT
IONS
For all Card purchase transactions, we may place a temporary
hold on some or all of the funds in the Account linked to your
Card when we obtain an authorization request. We refer to this
temporary hold as an “Authorization Hold.” The funds subject to
the Authorization Hold will be subtracted from your Available
Balance.
We generally release the Authorization Hold within 3 business
days from the time of authorization or until the transaction
is paid from your Account. Note, however that the hold can
be longer for certain types of transactions, including up to
30 business days for car rental, hotel, cash disbursements,
and international Card transactions. If the merchant does not
submit the transaction for payment within the time allowed, we
will release the Authorization Hold. This means your Available
Balance will increase until the transaction is submitted for
payment by the merchant and posted to your Account. If this
happens, we must honor the prior authorization, and we will
pay the transaction from your Account. In some situations,
the amount of the hold may dier from the actual transaction
amount since the merchant may not know the total amount you
will spend. For example, a restaurant submits the authorization
request for your meal before you add a tip.
Note: You might end up overdrawing the Account even though
the Available Balance appears to show there are sucient funds
to cover your transaction. For example, if a merchant does not
submit a one-time debit Card transaction for payment within
3 business days of authorization (or for up to 30 business
days at the bank’s discretion for certain types of debit Card
transactions), we will release the Authorization Hold on the
transaction even though we will have to honor the transaction.
The transaction will be paid from the funds in the Account when
we receive it for payment.
You should record and track all of your transactions closely to
conrm that your Available Balance accurately reects your use
of funds from your Account.
CREATING AN OVERDRAFT USING YOUR CARD
An overdra
ft occurs when you do not have enough available
money in your Account to cover a transaction but we pay it
anyway. For preauthorized recurring payments using a debit
Card, we may, at our discretion (1) authorize and pay the
transaction into overdraft, or (2) decline the transaction. We
will not authorize ATM and everyday (one-time) debit Card
transactions into overdraft unless you are enrolled in our
optional Debit Card Overdraft Service. Overdraft fees may apply
to transactions paid into overdraft. If your Account is overdrawn,
you must promptly add money to return your Account to
a positive balance. For more information about overdrafts
and associated fees, please refer to your Deposit Account
Agreement, Consumer Account Fee and Information Schedule,
or other applicable account agreement.
HANDLING PREAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS
• Right to stop payment: If you have told us in advance to
make regular (recurring) payments out of your Account, you
can stop any of these payments. Call or write to us in time
for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before
the payment is scheduled. Call us at 1-800-869-3557 (for
Private Bank Debit Card call 1-877-646-8560), or write to
us at WellsFargo, Customer Correspondence
, PO Box 6995,
Portland, OR 97228- 6995. If you call, we also may require
you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14
days after you call. There is no fee to stop a regular (recurring)
payment using a debit Card. Note: We cannot stop payment
on a purchase transaction unless it is a preauthorized
electronic fund transfer.
Notice of varying amounts: If the amount of these regular
(recurring) payments varies, the person you are going to pay
should tell you 10 days before each payment, when it will be
made and how much it will be. (The party you are going to
pay may allow you to choose to get this notice only when the
payment would dier by more than a certain amount from
the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside
certain limits that you set.)
Liability for failure to stop payment: If you order us to stop
one of these payments 3 business days or more before the
6
transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will pay for
your losses or damages.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Account inquiry: You have the right to contact us to nd out
whether an electronic transfer has been credited or debited
to your Account. Call WellsFargo Bank at 1-800-869-3557, or
write to us at WellsFargo, Customer Correspondence, PO Box
6995, Portland, OR 97228-6995.
Receipts: You can get a receipt at the time you make any
transfer to or from your Account using one of our ATMs or
when you use your Card at a merchant terminal.
CARD ON FILE WITH MERCHANTS
If you give your debit Card number to a merchant with
authorization to bill it for recurring payments, or to keep it
on le for future purchases or payments, the merchant may
receive updated Card information to process such payments,
for example, if the merchant participates in the Visa Account
Updater Service or a similar service. However, since not all
merchant
s receive updated Card information, we recommend
you notify each merchant of your new debit Card number
and/or expiration date to ensure your payments continue
uninterrupted. If you have a Card on le with a merchant and
want to cancel the relationship, be sure to cancel the relationship
with the merchant directly.
HELPING PROTECT YOUR CARD
Liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers according
to Regulation E
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Card, Card number, PIN, or
other access device has been lost or stolen, or if you believe
that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your
permission using information from your check. Telephoning is
the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could
lose all the money in your Account (plus funds in any line of
credit, savings account, or credit card linked to your account
or as part of an Overdraft Protection plan). If you tell us within
2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your
Card, Card number, PIN, or other access device, you can lose no
more than $50 if someone used your credentials without your
permission (however, see “Zero Liability pr
otection” below).
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn
of the loss or theft of your Card, Card number, PIN, or other
access device, and we can prove we could have stopped
someone from using your credentials without your permission
if you had told us, you could lose up to $500 (however, see
“Zero Liability protection” section).
Also, if your Account statement shows transfers that you did
not make or authorize, including those made by your Card, PIN,
or other means, tell us at once. If you do not notify us within
60 days after the statement was mailed or was otherwise
made available to you, you will be liable for any additional
unauthorized electronic fund transfers that occurred after
the 60-day period and before you provided notice to us (if we
can prove we could have stopped those transactions had you
promptly notied us). This will apply even to unauthorized
electronic fund transfers that occur shortly before you notify
us. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept
you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
Contact in the event of an unauthorized electronic fund
transfer
If you believe your Card, Card number, or PIN, has been lost or
stolen, call us at 1-800-869-3557 (for Private Bank Debit Card
call 1-877-646-8560), or write to us at Wells Fargo, Customer
Correspondence, PO Box 6995, Portland, OR 97228-6995.
Zero Liability protection
Your Card comes with Wells Fargos Zero Liability protection,
which provides you with more liability protection than what
Regulation E requires for consumer Cards (see “Liability for
unauthorized electronic fund transfers according to Regulation
E” above).
With Zero Liability protection, you’ll have no liability for Card
transactions that you did not make or authorize, subject to
certain conditions and so long as those transactions occurred
before the end of the 60-day period described hereafter.
If your Account statement shows Card transactions that
you did not make or authorize, tell us at once. If you do not
notify us within 60 days after the statement was mailed or
was otherwise made available to you, you will be liable for
any additional unauthorized Card transactions that occurred
after the 60-day period and before you pr
ovided notice to us
(if we could have stopped those Card transactions had you
promptly notied us). This will apply even to unauthorized
Card transactions that occur shortly before you notify us. If
a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you
from telling us, we will extend the time period.
Zero Liability protection does not apply if we determine,
based on substantial evidence, that you were fraudulent or
negligent in the handling of your Card or Account, or if your
Card transaction does not meet Regulation E’s denition of an
“unauthorized electronic fund transfer,” which is an electronic
fund transfer from your Account that is initiated by a person
other than you without actual authority to initiate the transfer
and from which you receive no benet. Moreover, if you do not
notify us about an unauthorized Card transaction within 60
days from the time your statement was made available to you,
Zero Liability protection does not apply; note, however, that
this does not impact your rights under Regulation E if there is
an unauthorized electronic fund transfer from your consumer
account.
In case of errors or questions about your electronic fund
transfers
Telephone us or write to us (information listed in the “Contact
Us” section on page 7) as soon as you can, if you think your
statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information
about a transfer listed on your statement or receipt. We
must hear from you no later than 60 days after we mailed
or otherwise made available to you the FIRST statement on
which the problem or error appeared. You should take the
following actions: 1) Tell us your name, Account number, and
the dollar amount of the suspected error, and 2) describe the
error or transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly
as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more
information.
If you notify us in person or by phone, we may require that
you send your complaint or question in writing within 10
business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10
business days after we hear from you and will correct any error
promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to
45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide
to do this, we will credit your Account within 10 business days
for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the
use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our
investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question
in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we
may not credit your Account.
For errors involving new Accounts, purchase transactions, or
foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to
investigate your complaint or question. For new Accounts, we
may take up to 20 business days to credit your Account for the
amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within 3 business days after
completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no
error, or an error occurred that is dierent from the one you
described, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask
for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
Our li
ability for failure to complete an electronic fund transfer
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account on
time or in the correct amount, according to our agreement with
you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there
are some exceptions. For instance, we will NOT be liable if:
Through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in
your Account to make the transfer.
The transfer would go over the credit limit on a credit account
linked for Overdraft Protection.
The ATM where you are making the transfer does not have
enough cash.
The terminal or system was not working properly and you knew
about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
Circum
stances beyond our control (such as re, ood, or power
failure) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions we
have taken.
There m
ay be other exceptions stated in your Account
documents.
Periodic statements
In general, you will get a monthly Account statement. If there are
no electronic fund transfers or payments in a particular month,
you will get the statement at least quarterly.
CARD AND ATM SAFETY TIPS
Card safety
Always protect your Card and keep it in a safe place, just like you
would cash, credit cards, or checks. If your Card is lost or stolen,
contact us immediately.
Avoid using numbers for your PIN that are easily identied
(such as birth date, phone number, or address). Note: Most
ATMs outside of the U.S. require a four-digit numeric PIN.
Memorize your PIN, and do not write it down or give it to
anyone.
Chang
e your PIN every six months. If you have forgotten your
PIN or want a new one, visit your nearest Wells Fargo location.
Review your account statements and report fraudulent
transactions to us immediately.
Make sure your internet transactions are secure, and log o
from a website after you make a purchase.
Avoid providing your Card information or PIN over the phone
or internet unless to a trusted merchant in a call or transaction
that you initiated.
Before using a merchant terminal or ATM, inspect it for
possible skimming devices or the presence of an unauthorized
attachment.
ATM safety
Be sure no one sees you enter your PIN.
Be aware of your surroundings, especially at night, and be
cautious when withdrawing cash. Avoid showing or counting
cash at the ATM. Put it away immediately and count it when you
are in a secure location such as your car or home.
When using an ATM with a door that requires card access, close
the entry door completely and do not open the door to anyone
you don’
t know.
The activity around Wells Fargo ATM facilities may be recorded
by surveillance cameras. If you notice anything suspicious do
not use the ATM, and, if you’re in the middle of a transaction,
cancel it, leave immediately and visit another ATM.
If you must use the ATM at night, take someone with you.
Keep safe or securely get rid of your ATM receipts.
When using a drive-up ATM, keep your car running, doors
locked, and passenger windows up.
Report all crimes immediately to the operator of the ATM
or local law enforcement and call 911 if you need emergency
assistance. For complaints about security at Wells Fargo
ATMs, contact us at the phone number or address listed in the
“Contact Us” section, and:
- In New York call: NY Department of Financial Services
1-877-226-5697.
- In New Jersey call: NJ Department of Banking 609-292-7272.
