Online Check Image Questions

Overview

An Online Check Image is a digital copy of a check you wrote that has posted to your checking or savings account.

Sign on to Wells Fargo Online® and go to Account Activity. Click the check icon next to the check you would like to see.

It’s quicker than requesting a paper copy of a check you've written. You can view an image of your check  through Wells Fargo Business Online immediately, while it can take up to 10 business days to receive a paper copy by mail.

Currently, Wells Fargo Online Check Images are available for checking and some savings accounts with check writing features.

Yes. And you can save or print check images.
A check may show up blank if written in red, metallic, or other non-traditional ink. Checks should always be written with a black or blue pen.

There is no fee to view checks through Wells Fargo Online Check Images for Wells Fargo customers.

If the check number is displayed in Account Activity, then the check has already posted to the customer's account. The check image can be accessed after 7 am.

For example, if you have a check transaction that posts on your Account Activity screen on Tuesday, the check image will be available after 7 am local time that day (Tuesday).

Please note: Wells Fargo Online Check Images are not available from Saturday 10 pm Pacific Time to Sunday 2 am Pacific Time so that our images systems can be updated.

Yes.
