Does anyone know how long it takes for the opening deposit transfer to actually post on the WF account?

Jack

You should see it in 1 week, assuming they don’t have problems with deposit like a couple months ago…. Almighty188

@Jack – Many thanks. Opened the account at 12:38AM PDT on September 6, 2023 and noticed on Fidelity the ACH debit on September 8, 2023 but the Wells Fargo side still shows 0 transactions and a $0.00 balance and there is no record of the pending transaction anywhere on WellsFargo’s website.

Yeah hang tight for one week. Couple months ago, many people had problems with direct deposits. It was on the news. In any case, “don’t call the bank”. Almighty188

@Jack – Many thanks again. I remember the funding page said something about atleast taking 3 business days, forgot the maximum # of days but there isn’t a way to get back to that page to see what it exactly says. I’ll just wait patiently. LOL

Jack

Thanks for the context. Yeah it took some readers 1 full week to see their initial funding. But yeah, if someone tells you their body country, double that….. so 3 business days are really 6….. Almighty188

Just for the record and another DP, the $25.00 debited from Fidelity Investments on September 8, 2023 which was initiated as part of the account opening process at 12:38AM PDT on September 6, 2023 had a deposit date of September 12, 2023 on the Wells Fargo side so it’s 3 business days.

This is silly but can anyone tell me if WF removed the page where they confirmed whether you had successfully waived the fee (via $500 average daily balance, or dd) for that month or not?

It doesn’t show up until after the statement is cut… IIRC. In other words it’s not a real-time tracker….. They decide after the fact. So, when your statement posts you see it on there as well.

Tempted to close this account now since allegedly there’s not early termination fee — and open 5 months is not egregious. I got my $325 bonus about a month ago, and account has been open since early Jan.

Can I close my existing account and open a new one. I haven’t got the bonus in more than 5 years?
