It depends on the account. Wells Fargo keeps online statements for up to 7 years for checking, savings and home mortgage accounts, up to 2 years for credit cards, home equity lines and personal loans, and up to 12 months for auto loans.

Checking accounts get a statement every month. Savings accounts usually get one every quarter, and monthly instead if you set up automatic transfers into savings, have electronic transfers or have a combined statement.

How to get statements for a closed Wells Fargo account

After an account closes, its online statements stay available for about 90 days. After that, Wells Fargo asks you to contact customer service for copies, at 1-800-869-3557, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Save the PDFs you need before an account closes.

How to go paperless with Wells Fargo

In Statements and Documents, open Manage Delivery Preferences and choose Online Only. Wells Fargo stops mailing paper statements for that account and emails you when each new statement is ready. Online statements are free, and Wells Fargo treats them as the same official document as the paper one.

On a joint account, the choice applies to every owner. If you switch back to paper, your next statement may still come online before the mail starts again.

Wells Fargo statement or account activity: which do you need?

The Account Activity screen shows your recent and pending transactions from the past 60 to 90 days. A statement covers one fixed cycle and leaves pending items out. When you need a record of a month, the statement is the document Wells Fargo calls official.

How to read a Wells Fargo bank statement

Wells Fargo’s help pages and fee schedule name the parts of a checking statement people ask about most. One catches people out: the statement cycle doesn’t always match a calendar month.

To check a statement by hand, Wells Fargo has a balancing worksheet that starts from the ending balance on your statement.

Wells Fargo’s balancing worksheet (PDF)
The statement cycle
The dates the statement covers. Wells Fargo says its cycle doesn’t always match a calendar month, and a fee period can run from 25 to 35 days.
Monthly service fee summary
The dates of your fee period. Prime Checking and Premier Checking statements have no monthly service fee summary.
Transaction History
The transactions for the cycle. A monthly service fee shows up here as a line of its own.
Check images
Wells Fargo keeps your paid checks instead of mailing them back. With its check image service, pictures of the paid checks print on the statement, and images from the past 18 months are on the Account Activity page.
Combined statements
Accounts with at least one owner in common can share one statement. Wells Fargo treats the first account listed as the primary account.
Linked accounts on Prime and Premier
A Prime Checking or Premier Checking statement shows the linked accounts at either Detail Level or Summary Level.

Wells Fargo credit card statement

Card statements are in Statements and Documents too, and Wells Fargo keeps them online for up to 2 years. To stop paper card statements, open Manage Delivery Preferences. Online card activity goes back only 90 days or 300 transactions, so for anything older the statement is the place to look.

For store-branded cards, Wells Fargo’s guide to the statement names its sections:

  • Account Information
  • Summary of Account Activity
  • Minimum Payment Warning
  • Important Information
  • Transaction Summary, with fees and interest for the cycle and the year to date
  • Interest Charge Calculation

Wells Fargo mortgage statement

Home mortgage statements stay in Wells Fargo Online for up to 7 years, the same as checking. Your yearly Form 1098 for mortgage interest is with your tax documents, which also go back 7 years online and in the app.

Only the account owner sees tax documents online, with one exception: mortgage and home equity co-borrowers can see them too, from the 2015 tax year on.

Convert a Wells Fargo statement to Excel

Add all the statement PDFs you saved to a project in CounselPro at once. You get one row per transaction, with the date, description, amount, account and page number. Download the rows as a CSV for Excel or Google Sheets.

The months are put in date order for each account, and on a combined statement each row shows its account’s last four digits. On the free trial, each account is balanced to the opening and ending balances on the statement, so you know every row is there before you download.

Reviewing Wells Fargo statements for a case

Wells Fargo statements produced in a divorce, a bankruptcy or an estate rarely line up neatly: monthly checking beside quarterly savings, combined statements, cycles that start and end mid-month. You get them back split into individual statements and sorted by account, and you can see which periods are missing.

Click any row to open its statement page and check a figure in seconds. On Premier and the Single Project, each statement is balanced to the totals Wells Fargo printed, and anything the records can’t support is flagged for you.
