With Wells Fargo Online statements you can:

• Quickly and easily access past statements.

• Receive email notifications as soon as your statements are ready.

Both your Account Activity screen and your Wells Fargo Online statements show your transaction history. Here are the key differences:

• The Account Activity screen shows all of your recent and pending transactions for the past 60-90 days.
• Wells Fargo Online statements are electronic versions of the monthly paper statements that you receive by mail. They include transactions from a set period of time (a statement cycle) and do not include any pending transactions.

For example: Your credit card statement shows the transactions you made before the statement closing date and the current amount owed. Your credit card Account Activity screen shows the past 60 days of activity, including pending transactions and transactions that occurred after the statement closing date.

Simply sign on to view your statements online.

• You can select only one statement at a time.
• When you select one of these documents, your device or browser may download and save it. If you have any problems finding or opening the file, check your download folder or consult your device help.
• To print your statements, you may need to sign on to Wells Fargo Online from a computer.
