*How to qualify for this offer
To be eligible: Offer is for customers who are opening a new Wells Fargo Premier Checking account or upgrading an existing consumer checking account to a Premier Checking account. Only the primary owner of the lead Premier Checking account is eligible for this offer. The primary account owner is the owner whose Taxpayer Identification Number, such as a Social Security Number, is assigned to the account and has tax responsibility. A Lead Account is the designated principal account in the relationship and determines which accounts may be linked. Offer is not available to customers that received a Premier Checking bonus within the past 12 months, are Wells Fargo employees, or are non-resident aliens or foreign entities signing any version of IRS Form W-8. Only one Premier Checking bonus may be applied per upgraded account or new Premier Checking account.
To receive the $2,000 bonus: You must use your bonus offer code when upgrading or opening a new Premier Checking account, which is subject to approval, by January 13, 2027 AND bring $250,000 or more in new deposits to qualifying linked accounts by Day 45 and maintain at least a $250,000 balance through Day 90 after account upgrade or opening. Qualifying linked accounts include (a) consumer bank deposit account balances (checking, savings, time accounts (CDs), FDIC-insured IRAs) and (b) investment account balances (investments available through our affiliate Wells Fargo Advisors12,13). Excludes applicable Wells Fargo bank fiduciary, custody accounts, and annuities. New deposits received into qualifying linked accounts up to 7 calendar days before the bonus offer code is applied to the Premier Checking account will count towards the offer requirements. Premier Accounts linked to other Premier Accounts aren’t eligible for a Premier checking bonus.
When you have met all offer requirements, we will deposit the bonus into your Premier Checking account within 30 calendar days. To receive this bonus, the enrolled account must not be closed or restricted at the time of payout. We may close accounts with a zero balance without prior notice. You are responsible for any taxes due on the bonus. We will report the bonus as income to the tax authorities, as required by applicable law. If you are subject to backup withholding at the time of payment, we may withhold the required amount and remit to tax authorities.
Other Terms: The Premier Checking account is an interest-bearing account. The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is 0.01% if the balance is $0 or more and is accurate as of August 3, 2026. Rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Fees could reduce earnings on this account.
Offer may be discontinued or changed without notice and cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit offer. Offer cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. If your existing Wells Fargo checking account is enrolled with a bonus offer pending, that bonus will be forfeited once upgrading to a Premier Checking account for purposes of this upgrade bonus offer. The actions required for this bonus are separate from the actions available to avoid the monthly service fee. If we suspect bonus or promotional offer abuse, we may close or restrict the account and decline or reverse any bonus.
