The Wells Fargo Flex Loan is a small-dollar loan designed
to help with unexpected expenses. Unlike traditional personal loans, the Flex
Loan has fixed repayment duration of 4 months, regardless of the loan amount.
Loan Amounts:
$250 or $500
Repayment terms:
Fixed Duration of 4 Months:
Equal monthly payments: The total loan amount (plus the flat fee) is divided into four equal installments. For example, a $250 loan with a $12 fee would require four payments of $65.50 each. No prepayment penalty: You can pay off the loan early without any additional charges.
Key Points to Remember:
The Flex Loan is only available to existing Wells Fargo
customers who receive a pre-approval offer within their mobile banking app.
There are no interest charges, just a flat fee of $12 for
a $250 loan and $20 for a $500 loan. There are no late fees if you miss a payment, but late
payments may be reported to credit bureaus and impact your credit score.
The Flex Loan is meant for short-term needs and may not
be suitable for larger expenses or long-term debt consolidation.
