The Wells Fargo Way2Save Savings account monthly service fee is $5. Minimum opening deposit is $25. The monthly service fee can be avoided with one of the following each fee period:

• $300 minimum daily balance
• Automatic transfer each fee period of $25 or more from a linked Wells Fargo checking account
• Automatic transfer each business day within the fee period of $1 or more from a linked Wells Fargo checking account
• or more Save As You Go® transfers from a linked Wells Fargo checking account. A qualifying Save As You Go transfer is an automatic transfer of $1 from your linked Wells Fargo checking account to your Way2Save Savings account each time you (or any authorized signer or joint owner) use your debit card for a one-time purchase or complete a Bill Pay transaction through online banking, and the one-time debit card purchase or Bill Pay transaction posts to the account. We reserve the right to determine through our sole discretion if a particular transaction is a qualifying transaction.
• Primary account owner is 24 years old or under. (When the primary account owner reaches the age of 25, age can no longer be used to avoid the monthly service fee.) Customers 12 and under must have an adult co-owner.

Bottom Line

There’s also an offer for a $2,500 bonus with Wells Fargo Premier Checking, but you need to transfer $250,000 in assets. The good news is that the $25,000 in the savings account SHOULD count towards that amount. You can combine both offers and open both accounts at the same time to make the most of the bonus.
