What is an overdraft fee or returned item fee?

Overdraft is a term used to indicate when an Item such as a check, Debit Card purchase, or other transaction presented for payment is paid even though the available balance in your deposit account is less than the amount of the Item, thereby creating an Overdraft (or negative balance) in your account. An Overdraft fee will apply.

Returned Item is a term used to indicate when an Item such as a check or other transaction presented for payment is returned unpaid because the available balance in your deposit account is less than the amount of the Item. Also called a “bounced check.” A Returned Item fee will apply.

What is the $1 charge that appears in my online Account Activity?

There are common reasons that a $1 charge may appear in your online Account Activity:

Debit Card Activity. Sometimes merchants perform a test charge to verify your account before authorizing a debit card purchase. These charges are usually for a nominal amount such as $1. Once the actual purchase is charged to your account, the $1 test charge is removed.
ATM Statement Fee. There may be a $1 fee when you request a statement at the ATM.

What does Returned Item mean?

If you cash or deposit an Item into your account, and it is returned to the Bank because the account it was drawn on did not have enough money to cover the Item, your account is charged a Cashed/Deposited Item Returned Unpaid fee.

What is an Excess Activity Fee?

Regulation D and the Bank limit certain types of withdrawals and transfers from a savings or money market account to a combined total of six (6) per month or monthly statement period (exceptions to the statement period may apply).

Limited by Regulation D:

Transfers by phone using an automated banking service or speaking with a banker on the phone

Transfers or payments through online, mobile and text banking (including bill pay)

Transfers to a checking account for Overdraft Protection coverage

Pre-authorized transfers and withdrawals (including recurring and one time)

Payments to third parties such as checks, drafts, or similar transactions (counted when they are posted to the account and not when they are written)

Debit card or ATM card purchases that post to the savings account

Limited by the Bank:

Transfers and payments to Wells Fargo credit cards, lines of credit, and loans

Wire transfers whether made in person, on the telephone, or online

An excess activity fee may be assessed for transactions exceeding the limit stated above. If the limit is exceeded on more than an occasional basis, the Bank may be required to convert the savings account to a checking account, which would discontinue any Overdraft Protection it might be providing to another account, or close the account. If the withdrawal or transfer limit is reached, we may decline transfers and withdrawals for the remainder of the monthly statement period (exceptions to the statement period may apply) to help you avoid a fee and account conversion or closure. For more information, please refer to the Consumer Account Agreement and the Consumer Account Fee and Information Schedule.

What is the fee for using Overdraft Protection?

When there are insufficient funds in your account to cover a check, withdrawal, or automatic payment that you have authorized, and you have Overdraft Protection, we pay the Item and charge you an overdraft protection transfer/advance fee.

The overdraft protection transfer/advance fee depends on which account you have linked to your Checking Account for Overdraft Protection.

Optional overdraft protection allows Wells Fargo to transfer funds from your linked account to prevent your checking account from being overdrawn. A single transfer fee will apply for each day an overdraft protection transfer is made. You should carefully consider which account to use for overdraft protection because the fee for overdraft protection transfers depends on the type of account used for the transfer:
