(A) If your Prime Checking or Premier Checking account is converted to another checking product or closed by us or you, all linked accounts are delinked from the Prime Checking or 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 Prime Checking or 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 Prime Checking or Premier Checking account and any remaining linked accounts will continue.

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 CDs, the change will occur upon renewal. To receive a Relationship Interest Rate/Relationship APY, the eligible savings account or CD must remain linked to a Prime Checking, Premier Checking or Private Bank Interest Checking account. Upon linking, it may take up to two business days for the Relationship Interest Rate to be applied to your eligible savings account. CDs must be linked at account open and/or at every renewal.

All loans are subject to application, credit qualification, income verification and, if applicable, collateral evaluation. Programs, rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change without notice. The interest rate discount requires a qualifying Wells Fargo consumer checking or savings account and automatic payments set up from qualifying Wells Fargo checking or savings account. If automatic payments are canceled, for any reason at any time, after account opening, the interest rate and the corresponding monthly payment may increase. Only one interest rate discount may be applied per application. Talk with your banker, or refer to product information online at wellsfargo.com/relationshipdiscount, to learn what requirements apply to your specific loan.

Unless otherwise noted, stated benefits apply only to the Prime Checking account and not other linked accounts.

Whether or not the wire transfer fee is waived, Wells Fargo makes money when we convert one currency to another currency for you. The exchange rate used when Wells Fargo converts 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 Wells Fargo provides 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. The applicable exchange rate may vary based on such factors including, but not limited to, currency pair, transaction size, payment channel and product type, such as foreign currency cash, checks, remittances, and wire transfers. Foreign exchange markets are dynamic and rates fluctuate over time based on market conditions, liquidity, and risks. Wells Fargo is 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” and “Incoming international wire transfer” sections of the Deposit Account Agreement.

Fees may be charged by third parties or other banks, in addition to those described above.

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.

Unless otherwise noted, stated benefits apply only to the Premier Checking account and not other linked accounts.

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.

You'll also receive the benefit when you purchase or sell foreign currency at a Wells Fargo branch. This benefit applies only to foreign currency cash. It does not apply to foreign currency drafts, checks, or wire transfers. In addition to any applicable fees, we make money when we convert one currency to another currency for you.
