Three easy steps

If the company or agency that pays you offers Direct Deposit, follow these three easy steps to set up Direct Deposit into your Wells Fargo account.

Step 1.
Use our pre-filled form

Use our Wells Fargo Mobile ® app or sign on to create your customized Direct Deposit guide.

• Select the account you’d like your deposits to go to, and we’ll pre-fill the form with your routing number, account number, and account type.

You can also download a blank Direct Deposit/Automatic Payments Set-up Guide (PDF) and fill in the information yourself.

Step 2.
Provide the information on the completed form to the company or agency that pays you

Your payor may ask you to complete their own form in order to process your request.

Step 3.
Monitor your account

It may be one or two pay or benefit periods before Direct Deposit goes into effect.

Signing up for automatic alerts will notify you when a direct deposit is available in your account. Choose how you want to receive alerts — email, text message, or push notification to your phone. You can change your preferences anytime.

The fastest, most convenient way to manage your everyday financial transactions.

With Early Pay Day, the Bank may make incoming electronic direct deposits made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) available for use up to two days before the scheduled payment date. Not all direct deposits are eligible for Early Pay Day. Early availability of direct deposits is not guaranteed and may vary from deposit to deposit. Whether we make funds available early depends on when we receive the payor’s payment instructions, any limitations we set on the amount of early availability, and standard fraud prevention screening. Available for personal accounts only. See our Deposit Account Agreement for more details.

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.
