ATM Services
Most of the time, you’re closer to a Wells Fargo ATM than you realize. With 13,000 Wells Fargo ATMs across the country, you’ll probably find yourself near one.
International ATM Use
Customers can use Wells Fargo ATMs to withdraw cash and make balance inquiries with no access fee. To find an ATM, search online or call 1-800-TO-WELLS (1-800-869-3557) for consumer customers and 1-800-CALL-WELLS (1-800-225-5935) for small business customers.
If you are traveling outside of the U.S. and having trouble using an ATM in a foreign country, it might be because you do not have a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN), or because the ATM is not in our participating network.
Most foreign ATMs require a four-digit numeric PIN. If you have an alphabetic PIN, translate the letters into numbers by using the keypad at a Wells Fargo ATM before you travel. You can also do this by visiting a Wells Fargo location or calling us at 1-800-TO-WELLS (1-800-869-3557) for consumer customers and 1-800-CALL-WELLS (1-800-225-5935) for small business customers.
If you are still having difficulty using an ATM in a foreign country, to get cash you can use your Debit or Prepaid Card to get an over-the-counter cash disbursement at a local bank. Wells Fargo charges a fee of 3% of the transaction amount for international over-the-counter cash disbursements.
