Wells Fargo Bank offers a solid checking that one would expect from a major bank. There are many great features associated with opening a checking account at Wells Fargo Bank, including free online banking, a free debit card, optional overdraft protection, as well as free mobile banking as well. One only needs to have $100 to open a checking account, but a minimum monthly balance of $1,500 is needed to avoid paying a monthly fee.

Now that Wells Fargo has bought out Wachovia one can have access to over 12,000 ATMs all across the country, adding a great deal of convenience to customers who travel around a lot. Overall Wells Fargo Bank offers a standard checking account that neither sets itself apart from competitors nor is below average by any means.
