Your savings account number appears in four places you can reach right now
Your Wells Fargo savings account number is an 10-digit code that identifies your specific account. You can find it on a paper statement, in the Wells Fargo mobile app, on the Wells Fargo website after you log in, or by calling customer service. The fastest route is usually the app or website if you have your login credentials ready.
You need this number when you set up direct deposit, transfer money between banks, or give payment instructions to a third party. It is different from your routing number (which is the same for all Wells Fargo customers in your region) and your card number (which appears on your debit card but is not your account number).
Key Takeaways
- Your savings account number is a 10-digit code printed on paper statements and visible in the Wells Fargo app and website under your account details.
- The mobile app shows your account number on the account summary screen without requiring you to navigate through menus.
- Paper statements print your account number in the upper right corner, and you can request a replacement statement if you do not have one.
- Wells Fargo customer service can read your account number to you over the phone if you verify your identity first.
Check the Wells Fargo mobile app
Open the Wells Fargo mobile app and log in with your username and password. Tap on your savings account from the list of accounts shown on the home screen. Your account number appears at the top of the account details page, usually displayed as a 10-digit number.
If you have multiple savings accounts, each one will show its own number. The app also shows your routing number on the same screen, which you may need for wire transfers or setting up direct deposit. You can take a screenshot of this screen for your records.
Log into Wells Fargo online banking
Go to wellsfargo.com and sign in with your username and password. Once you are logged in, click on your savings account name from the accounts list on the left side of the page. Your account number displays prominently on the account summary page.
The online version shows the same information as the app, and you can print the page directly from your browser if you need a paper copy. Some users find the website easier to read on a larger screen than the mobile app.
Find it on a paper statement
If you receive paper statements by mail, your savings account number is printed in the upper right corner of the first page. It appears next to a label that says "Account Number" or simply as a 10-digit number at the top of the statement.
Statements arrive monthly unless you have changed your delivery preferences. If you do not have a recent statement, you can request one through the Wells Fargo website or by calling customer service. A replacement statement usually arrives within 5 to 10 business days.
Call Wells Fargo customer service
Call 1-800-869-3557 to reach Wells Fargo customer service. Have your Social Security number, date of birth, and a form of identification ready. A representative will verify your identity and then read your account number to you.
Wait times vary depending on the time of day and day of the week. Early morning and weekday calls typically have shorter waits than evening or weekend calls. You can also use the Wells Fargo website to schedule a callback instead of waiting on hold.
Understand what your account number is used for
Your savings account number is required when you set up automatic transfers from another bank, receive a wire transfer, or authorize someone else to move money into or out of your account. Employers and payroll services need it to set up direct deposit. Third-party payment services also request it when you link your Wells Fargo account to their platform.
Never share your account number with someone you do not trust or through an unsecured channel like email or text message. If you suspect someone has your account number and you did not authorize them to have it, contact Wells Fargo immediately to monitor your account for unauthorized activity.
Distinguish your account number from other numbers on your account
Your debit card has a 16-digit number printed on the front, but this is not your account number. The debit card number is tied to your account but is a separate identifier used only for card transactions. Your routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies Wells Fargo as your bank; all Wells Fargo customers in your region share the same routing number.
When a form asks for your "account number," it is asking for the 10-digit savings account number, not your card number or routing number. Using the wrong number can delay a transfer or cause a payment to fail. If you are unsure which number to provide, contact the organization requesting it and ask them to clarify.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I find my account number on my debit card?
No. Your debit card shows a 16-digit card number, which is different from your 10-digit account number. The card number is for card transactions only. You must use your account number for transfers, direct deposit, and wire transfers.
What is the Wells Fargo routing number, and do I need it?
The Wells Fargo routing number is a nine-digit code that identifies Wells Fargo as your bank. You need it along with your account number when setting up direct deposit or receiving a wire transfer. All Wells Fargo customers in your region have the same routing number, which you can find on your statement or by calling customer service.
What should I do if I think someone has my account number?
Call Wells Fargo customer service at 1-800-869-3557 right away. A representative can review your account for unauthorized activity and help you secure it. You may want to monitor your account closely for the next 30 days and consider placing a fraud alert with the credit bureaus if you are concerned about identity theft.
How long does it take to get a replacement statement with my account number?
A replacement statement usually arrives within 5 to 10 business days if you request it through the Wells Fargo website or by phone. If you need your account number immediately, use the mobile app or website login instead of waiting for a statement.
