I may not be clear on what you are describing, but an online transaction is the use of your card on the Internet, to order a book from Amazon for example, and in contrast to using it at a point of sale in the physical world. This is unrelated to logging into your bank to look at your account info or initiate a transaction.

Wait 24hrs and try again. Sounds like they’ve got “problems” of some kind, and if it’s a scam/hack, you could be compromised.

Which of you Freepers have a Wells Fargo account? If not, what banks do you bank at?

You “logged on” to a link from an email, didn’t you
You were sent to a fake page and have just handed your handle and password away?
You are certain you were on a legit WellsFargo.com page?

I have been with WF for over 40 years (many accounts) and only experienced a couple of issues, which they quickly took care of and worked with me till resolution.

i work from wells fargo. not on the bank side however...

but i know from experience you don’t even need to log into wf website to initiate transactions.

if i have your bank account number, it’s very easy for me (or anyone) to log into, say ING-direct (Capitol one now), and initiate transfer of funds from your account to ING-direct.

I’m a 45 year Wells Fargo account(s) holder and never had a problem in all of those years, not one.

We dropped Wells Fargo a few months ago. Sorry we didn’t do it sooner.

Well Fargo is the worst bank on the planet. Their policies are ridiculous.

On July 2nd, two transactions were made from my Wells Fargo account — one for $1,400, the other for $25 - both to United Airlines. I caught it immediately but had to cancel my account numbers and start with new ones — a few weeks later, I received a letter stating that the Wells Fargo fraud department decided that I had made the transaction myself since my explanation was “not satisfactory.” (!!).

It took a lot of time and hassle to explain to Wells Fargo that I did not buy tickets from United Airlines, I did not give my card to anyone or purchase tickets for someone else — I had to explain myself repeatedly to several different people over a number of days. It took a lot of time and every ounce of patience I had to straighten this out.

How anyone got my name, account number and the expiration date is beyond me — and WHY United accepted the bogus transaction for such a LARGE amount baffles me. Seems when I make travel plans I have to have the security # on the card and give my home zip code and the last four digits of my SSN.

I hope United Airlines EATS IT — Wells Fargo too — will cancel account and switch everything to Credit Union.
