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 your debit card, your monthly statement, inside the Wells Fargo mobile app, or by logging into your online account. The fastest route is usually your debit card — the number is printed on the front, right below your name.
If you do not have your card in front of you, your statement shows the account number at the top of the first page, next to your account type. Online access takes about 30 seconds: log in, select your savings account from the account list, and the number displays in the account details section. The mobile app works the same way.
You will need this number when you set up direct deposit, transfer money between banks, or give your employer your banking details. Wells Fargo customer service can also read it to you over the phone if you call the number on the back of your card and verify your identity.
Key Takeaways
- Your account number is the 10-digit code printed on your debit card, below your name on the front.
- Your monthly statement shows the account number at the top of the first page, next to the account type label.
- Wells Fargo's website and mobile app both display your account number in the account details section once you log in.
- You need this number to set up direct deposit, wire transfers, or to give your bank details to an employer or another financial institution.
Finding the number on your debit card
The debit card is the quickest source. Look at the front of the card: your name appears at the bottom left, and directly below it is a 10-digit number. That is your account number. The longer number across the middle of the card is your card number — a different thing entirely, used only for purchases and ATM withdrawals.
If your card is lost, expired, or you never received one, the card itself will not help you. Move to your statement or online account instead. A replacement card takes 7 to 10 business days to arrive by mail, so do not wait for it if you need the number now.
Checking your monthly statement
Your paper or electronic statement lists the account number near the top of the first page. Look for a line that says "Account Number" or "Savings Account Number" — the 10-digit code appears right next to it. This is the same number that appears on your debit card.
If you receive statements by mail, the number is in the same place on every statement. If you view statements online through your Wells Fargo account, open the most recent statement and scroll to the top. The account number does not change, so an old statement works just as well as a new one.
Logging into Wells Fargo online or the mobile app
Go to wellsfargo.com and sign in with your username and password. Once you are logged in, your accounts appear in a list on the left side of the screen or in a menu at the top, depending on which device you are using. Click on your savings account name. The account details panel opens, and your 10-digit account number displays prominently near the account name.
The mobile app works the same way. Open the app, sign in, tap your savings account from the list, and the account number appears in the account details section. Both the website and app show the number in the same format — 10 digits with no dashes or spaces.
Calling Wells Fargo customer service
The phone number for Wells Fargo customer service is on the back of your debit card. Call that number, select the option for account information, and a representative will verify your identity by asking for your Social Security number and date of birth. Once verified, they will read your account number to you.
Wait times vary depending on the time of day and day of the week. Calling early in the morning on a weekday usually means a shorter wait. Have a pen ready to write down the number, or ask the representative to repeat it twice to make sure you have it correct.
What to do if you cannot find your account number
If none of these methods work — for example, if you have lost your card, do not have a statement, and cannot log into your online account — contact Wells Fargo directly. Call the number on any Wells Fargo mail you have received, or visit a Wells Fargo branch in person with a photo ID. A teller can look up your account and provide the number when ready.
If you have forgotten your online password, use the "Forgot Username or Password" link on the Wells Fargo login page to reset it. You will need to verify your identity using your Social Security number and other personal information. Once you reset your password, you can log in and find your account number in seconds.
Why you need your account number and when to use it
Your account number is required for direct deposit setup — your employer needs it to send your paycheck to your Wells Fargo account. It is also necessary for wire transfers, ACH transfers between banks, and when you want to give someone your banking details to send you money. Some bill payment services also ask for it.
Do not share your account number with anyone unless you initiated the request and trust the person or organization asking for it. Your account number alone cannot be used to withdraw money, but combined with other information it can be part of a fraud attempt. If someone calls you asking for your account number, hang up and call Wells Fargo directly using the number on your card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my account number the same as my card number?
No. Your account number is 10 digits and appears below your name on the front of your debit card. Your card number is 16 digits and runs across the middle of the card. They are different codes for different purposes.
Can I find my account number on a check?
Yes. If you have Wells Fargo checks, the account number appears at the bottom left of the check, after the routing number. It is the same 10-digit number as on your card and statement.
What if I have multiple savings accounts with Wells Fargo?
Each account has its own 10-digit number. When you log into your online account or mobile app, you will see all your accounts listed separately. Click on each one to see its individual account number.
Do I need my account number to use an ATM?
No. You only need your debit card and PIN to withdraw money at a Wells Fargo ATM or at ATMs in the Wells Fargo network. Your account number is not required for ATM transactions.
How long does it take to get a new account number if my card is compromised?
Your account number does not change when you get a new debit card. If your card is lost or stolen, Wells Fargo will cancel that card and send you a new one with a new card number, but your account number stays the same.
