Savings FAQs

A savings account is a bank account where you can store your money and earn interest. Wells Fargo offers interest-bearing savings accounts and Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts.

Wells Fargo savings accounts allow you to save automatically to help you build towards your savings goals. In return for keeping your money in a savings account, we pay you interest depending on your interest rate.

How can we help?

Overdraft Protection is not available for Clear Access Banking accounts.

You may pay an early withdrawal penalty or a Regulation D penalty if you withdraw funds from your account before the term is complete. Some exceptions may apply. Penalties could reduce earnings on this account.

The Regulation D Penalty is seven days’ simple interest on the amount withdrawn and applies to:

  • Withdrawals made within seven days of account opening including the day the account was opened.
  • Withdrawals made during the grace period, when additional deposits are made during the grace period and the withdrawal exceeds the amount of the matured CD balance.
  • Withdrawals within seven days of any prior withdrawal where the Bank's early withdrawal penalty is not applied.

Other than the Regulation D penalty described above, any money withdrawn from the CD before the end of its term will be subject to an early withdrawal penalty based on the length of the CD term. If your term is:

  • Less than 90 days (or less than 3 months), the penalty is 1 month's interest,
  • 90 to 365 days (or 3-12 months), the penalty is 3 months' interest,
  • Over 12 months through 24 months, the penalty is 6 months' interest, or
  • Over 24 months, the penalty is 12 months' interest.

Sign-up may be required. Availability may be affected by your mobile carrier's coverage area. Your mobile carrier's message and data rates may apply.
