Information to help you arrange automatic deposits or payments to/from third parties
Take advantage of the fast, convenient, and secure way to manage regular deposits to, or making regular payments on your
account.
Key benefits of direct deposit:
Direct deposit is a service that automatically deposits qualifying recurring income* into any Wells Fargo checking or savings account you choose.
• Convenient — Your money is deposited into your account, even when you are on vacation or too busy to get to the bank.
• Fast — You have immediate access to your money on the day of deposit.
• Safe — You never have to worry about checks getting lost, delayed or stolen.
• Build savings automatically — You can watch your savings grow by directing at least part of your pay to a savings account.
* Some examples would include: Income you receive from your employer, Social Security, pension and retirement plans, the Armed Forces, VA Benefits, and
annuity or dividend payments may all qualify for Direct Deposit.
Key benefits of automatic payments:
Never worry about missing a payment or possible late fees or other consequences. You will need to have the required available funds in your account
at the time of the payment. Note that you can also make recurring payments by signing on to Wells Fargo Online® Banking with Bill Pay.
