To enable non-Wells Fargo accounts for Transfers, additional security measures are required. Verification may take 1-3 business days. In the meantime, you may be able to use your non-Wells Fargo account for payments to your eligible Wells Fargo credit accounts (such as your eligible credit card, mortgage loan, auto loan, personal loan, personal line of credit, and home equity line of credit and loan accounts).

Transfers between Wells Fargo Deposit Accounts

Funds transferred to your Wells Fargo deposit accounts (and Brokerage Cash Services) will be available immediately for purchases and withdrawals. The funds are also used in our next nightly processing of deposits and withdrawals.

Our nightly processing occurs on business days. Transfers completed on non-business days will be available at the next nightly processing. Transfers completed before 8 pm Pacific Time on a business day will be available that day. Transfers completed after 8 pm Pacific Time on a business day will appear as “pending,” but will be available to pay your transactions that night as long as they are completed prior to our nightly processing (which generally occurs just after midnight, Pacific Time).

Transfers between Wells Fargo and Non-Wells Fargo Deposit Accounts

Transfers between your Wells Fargo deposit account (including Brokerage Cash Services) and Non-Wells Fargo accounts will be initiated on the Send On date you selected and completed after the number of business days you selected for Delivery Speed.

Same-day transfers to Wells Fargo accounts

A same-day transfer to a Wells Fargo account will transfer funds to your account immediately. You cannot cancel a same-day transaction once you submit it. 

For future-dated and recurring transfers

Future-dated or recurring transfers are typically credited and posted on the date you select. However, if your transfer date falls on a weekend or holiday, we will credit the transfer to your account on the date you selected but post it on the next business day. You have until 11:59 pm Pacific Time on the day before the scheduled transfer date to delete/edit it.

Transfers to or from Wells Fargo Brokerage accounts

Transfers with a brokerage account are typically completed within one to three business days.

For information, please refer to your account terms and conditions.

To set up and schedule payments to your Wells Fargo credit account from another financial institution, select Add Non-Wells Fargo Accounts on the Transfer Money screen, and follow the instructions.

Payments to your Wells Fargo credit account from a non-Wells Fargo account usually take 3-4 business days to complete.

Payments to Wells Fargo Credit Accounts

A payment dated today to a Wells Fargo credit account will take effect the same day you submit it, according to the cutoff times in the table below for each type of account. You cannot cancel a payment dated today once you submit it.

A payment scheduled for a future date will take effect on the scheduled transaction date you selected. You have until 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the day before the scheduled payment date to delete it.
