Certain investments or investment accounts are not eligible for linking.
(A) If your Premier Checking account is converted to another checking product or closed by us or you, all linked accounts are delinked from the Premier Checking account and effective immediately, benefits no longer apply, including benefits to your now delinked accounts. You’ll no longer receive discounts, options to avoid fees on other products or services, or the Relationship Interest Rate; for time accounts (CDs), this change will occur at renewal. Your delinked accounts will revert to the Bank’s current applicable interest rate or fee at that time. (B) If you or we delink an account from your Premier Checking account but other accounts remain linked, the loss of all benefits and the other consequences described above in (A) will immediately apply to the delinked account. Benefits available to your Premier Checking account and any remaining linked accounts will continue.
The Relationship Interest Rate is variable and subject to change at any time without notice, including setting the interest rate equal to the Standard Interest Rate or to zero (0.00%), which could change the Relationship Annual Percentage Yield (APY). For time accounts, the change will occur upon renewal. To receive the Relationship Interest Rate/Relationship APY, the eligible savings or time account must remain linked to a Prime Checking, Premier Checking or Private Bank Interest Checking account. Time Accounts must be linked at account open and at every renewal.
Unless otherwise noted, stated benefits apply only to the Premier Checking account and not other linked accounts.
In addition to any applicable fees, we make money when we convert one currency to another currency for you. The exchange rate used when we convert one currency to another is set at our sole discretion, and it includes a markup. The markup is designed to compensate us for several considerations including, without limitation, costs incurred, market risks, and our desired return. The applicable exchange rate does not include, and is separate from, any applicable fees. The exchange rate we provide to you may be different from exchange rates you see elsewhere. Different customers may receive different rates for transactions that are the same or similar, and the applicable exchange rate may be different for foreign currency cash, drafts, checks, or wire transfers. Foreign exchange markets are dynamic and rates fluctuate over time based on market conditions, liquidity, and risks. We're your arms-length counterparty on foreign exchange transactions. We may refuse to process any request for a foreign exchange transaction.
Incoming wire transfers received in a foreign currency for payment into your account will be converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate without prior notice to you. For more information, see the "Applicable Exchange Rate" section of the Deposit Account Agreement.
Outstanding Cashier's checks are subject to state or territorial unclaimed property laws.
If the cashier's check is lost, stolen, or destroyed, you may request a stop payment and reissuance. A stop payment and reissuance can only be completed within a branch location. As a condition of stop payment and reissuance, Wells Fargo Bank will require an indemnity agreement. In addition, for cashier's checks over $1,000.00, the waiting period before the stop payment and reissuance of an outstanding cashier's check may be processed is 90 days (30 days in the state of Wisconsin and 91 days in the state of New York). The waiting period can be avoided with the purchase of an acceptable surety bond. This can be purchased through Wells Fargo's approved insurance carrier or through an insurance carrier of the customer's choice. The cost of a surety bond varies depending on the amount of the bond and the insurer used. Surety bonds are subject to the insurance carrier's underwriting requirements before issuance. If the surety bond is not provided, the waiting period applies.
Fees charged by non-Wells Fargo ATM operators or networks may apply. For Prime Checking and Premier Checking accounts, Wells Fargo will waive its non-Wells Fargo ATM cash withdrawal transaction fee (U.S. and international) when you withdraw cash from a non-Wells Fargo ATM. In addition, for Prime Checking Wells Fargo will reimburse one fee charged by a non-Wells Fargo ATM operator located in the U.S. and one fee charged by a non-Wells Fargo ATM operator located outside the U.S. per fee period. For Premier Checking, Wells Fargo will reimburse all fees charged by non-Wells Fargo ATM operators. When the amount of the fee charged by the non-Wells Fargo operator or network is not provided to Wells Fargo, Prime Checking and Premier Checking customers will receive a $4.00 reimbursement per cash withdrawal.
