Wells Fargo's policy on wire transfers involves the following:

  1. Authorization: Wells Fargo requires customers to initiate wire transfers by providing proper authorization. This usually involves signing an application or agreement that details the terms and conditions of the wire transfer service.
  2. Account Verification: Customers must provide accurate information about the sending and receiving bank accounts, including the account holder's names and account numbers. Wells Fargo may also verify the customer's identity and account ownership to prevent fraudulent activity.
  3. Fees: Wells Fargo applies fees for outgoing domestic and international wire transfers. Fees can vary depending on the type and amount of transfer.
  4. Cut-off Times: Wells Fargo specifies cut-off times for both domestic and international wire transfers. The cut-off time represents the latest time of day when a wire transfer can be initiated to ensure it processes on the same business day.
  5. Limits: Wells Fargo sets limits on wire transfers to protect against potential fraud or unauthorized transactions. These limits may vary depending on the customer's account type, relationship with the bank, and other factors.
  6. Security: Wells Fargo utilizes various security measures to protect wire transfer transactions, including encryption and authentication mechanisms.


It is important to note that the specific details of Wells Fargo's policy on wire transfers may be subject to change, so it is advisable to consult the bank's official website or contact a customer service representative for the most up-to-date information.
