There are several ways to transfer money to a Wells Fargo
account, depending on who you are and how quickly you need the money to arrive.
Following are some options:
 |
Transfer between your own Wells Fargo accounts: This is
the easiest and fastest option. You can do this online through Wells Fargo
Online or the Wells Fargo Mobile app.
Just sign in, choose the account you want to transfer
from and the account you want to transfer to, enter the amount, and submit. The
money will be transferred instantly.
You can use Zelle to send money to anyone with a U.S.
bank account, including Wells Fargo accounts. The money typically arrives
within minutes.
To send money using Zelle, find the Zelle option in your
Wells Fargo online banking or mobile app, enter the recipient's email address
or mobile phone number, and the amount you want to send.
Wire transfer: This is the fastest option, but it also
has the highest fees. A wire transfer can be sent domestically or
internationally. To send a wire transfer, you'll need to contact Wells Fargo
customer service or visit a branch. Wells Fargo Reflect Card
If You Don't Have a Wells Fargo Account:
External transfer: You can transfer money from your bank
account at another bank to a Wells Fargo account.
This can be done online, by phone, or in person at your
bank. The transfer may take a few days to complete, and there may be fees from
both your bank and Wells Fargo.
Check: You can write a check to the Wells Fargo account
holder and mail it to their address. This is the slowest option, but it may be
the only option if you don't have access to online banking or the recipient
doesn't have a U.S. bank account.
Things to Keep in Mind:
Transfer limits: There may be limits on how much money
you can transfer at a time, per day, or per month. These limits will vary
depending on the type of transfer and your account type.
Fees: Most transfers will incur some kind of fee. Be sure
to check with your bank and Wells Fargo before you initiate a transfer to find
out what the fees will be.
Account information: You'll need the recipient's account
number and routing number to complete the transfer.
