Account & Service Control · Procedure

Assisted enrollment may require another action to affirm consent

When you use an Electronic Service through a Wells Fargo representative or its equipment, enrollment may require further action. Wells Fargo will tell you at enrollment what to do. Completing that action affirms electronic-record and signature consent. Electronic Services include present and future products accessed through internet, websites, email, messaging or apps.

Details not recorded for this card

Supporting quotations

If you utilize an Electronic Service through one of our customer service representatives or using our equipment, your enrollment may not be complete until you take additional action. We will advise you, at the time of your enrollment, of any additional action you must take. If you take the required action, it is an affirmation of your consent to use Electronic Records and signatures under the terms of this ESIGN Consent.
"Electronic Service" means each and every product and service we offer that you apply for, use, administer or access using the Internet, a website, email, messaging services (including text messaging), and/or software applications (including applications for mobile or hand-held devices), either now or in the future.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • Applies when using a representative or Wells Fargo equipment; additional action may be required.

Covered records include account statements, fee notices and legal disclosures

Examples include periodic account and activity statements, disclosures and notices, fee or assessment notices such as late, overdraft, over-limit and returned-item fees, and disclosures Wells Fargo must or chooses to provide. The consent broadly covers product-related Communications, including information it provides and information you sign, submit or agree to at its request, for current or future products you apply for, own, use, administer or access.

Account & Service Control · Restriction or exception

Declining electronic records for a new product leaves other consent in place

When you seek a new product, Wells Fargo may remind you of your existing consent. Choosing not to use electronic records and signatures for that new product or service does not withdraw consent for any other Wells Fargo Product.

Details not recorded for this card

Supporting quotations

From time to time, you may seek to obtain a new Wells Fargo Product from us. When you do, we may remind you that you have already given us your consent to use Electronic Records and signatures. If you decide not to use Electronic Records and signatures in connection with the new product or service, your decision does not mean you have withdrawn this consent for any other Wells Fargo Product.

Account & Service Control · Procedure

Electronic records require supported software, internet and email

To receive Electronic Records, you need internet access, an active email address, a supported browser and a program that accurately reads and displays PDFs, plus a computer and operating system supporting them. Browser and PDF software must be versions currently supported by their publishers. Printing and retaining paper records requires a printer; keeping electronic records requires electronic storage. Some applications may require a specific device brand or type. Wells Fargo can also discontinue software support if it considers a security or other flaw to make the version unsuitable.

Details not recorded for this card

Supporting quotations

To receive Electronic Records, you must have access to:
a Current Version (defined below) of an Internet browser we support,
a connection to the Internet,
a Current Version of a program that accurately reads and displays PDF files (such as Adobe® Acrobat® Reader),
a computer and an operating system capable of supporting all of the above. You will also need a printer if you wish to print out and retain records on paper, and electronic storage if you wish to retain records in electronic form, and
an active email address.
In some cases, you may also need a specific brand or type of device that can support a particular software application, including an application intended for particular mobile or handheld devices.
By "Current Version," we mean a version of the software that is currently being supported by its publisher.
We reserve the right to discontinue support of a Current Version of software if, in our sole opinion, it suffers from a security flaw or other flaw that makes it unsuitable for use with Electronic Services.

Qualifications & exceptions

  • A printer is needed only to print and retain records on paper; electronic storage is needed to retain them electronically.
  • Specific applications may require a particular device.
  • Publisher support does not prevent Wells Fargo from withdrawing support for a version it considers unsuitable.

Not stated here

  • The linked Technical Requirements page is not supplied; the source does not name all supported browser versions.
