How can we help?

The combined balance is determined one business day prior to the last business day of your fee period. Combined business deposit balances include the average ledger balance in your Navigate Business Checking® account plus other qualified linked accounts:

  • Your business checking accounts: Initiate Business Checking® and Additional Navigate Business Checking PLUS
  • Your business savings accounts: Business Market Rate Savings and Business Platinum Savings PLUS
  • Your business time accounts (CDs): Business Time Account (CD)

Your Navigate Business Checking account cannot be linked to another Navigate Business Checking account for combined balances. Other accounts linked to your Navigate Business Checking account for combined balances, such as a Business Market Rate Savings account, cannot simultaneously be linked to another Navigate Business Checking account to avoid the monthly service fee with combined balances. 

See the Business Account Fee and Information Schedule for additional business account information.

Customers who own a Premier Checking, Private Bank Checking, or Private Bank Interest Checking account and own a business with an Initiate Business Checking, Navigate Business Checking, Business Market Rate Savings, or Business Platinum Savings will have their monthly service fee waived on the business account(s). Customer must be an individual owner, joint owner, or trustee of the Premier Checking, Private Bank Checking, or Private Bank Interest Checking account and be a business owner with transaction authority on the business account. If a business has multiple owners, the benefit will apply as long as one of the owners has a Premier Checking, Private Bank Checking, or Private Bank Interest Checking account. In the event a customer no longer has a Premier Checking, Private Bank Checking, or Private Bank Interest Checking account, that customer is no longer eligible for the monthly service fee waiver benefit.

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.

We will charge a cash withdrawal transaction fee for additional non - Wells Fargo ATM cash withdrawal transaction. Fees charged by the non - Wells Fargo ATM operator or network may apply.

If you switch to a Navigate Business Checking account from another type of business account, fee waivers for allowable wire and ATM transactions will be included after the current fee period ends.

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.

Transactions means all checks deposited and all withdrawals or debits posted to your account, including paper and electronic, except debit card purchases and debit card payments.
