Wells Fargo Online is constantly working to
increase security for all Online Banking users. To ensure the integrity of
our online payment system, we periodically review accounts.
Your account might be place on
restricted status. Restricted accounts continue to receive payments, but
they are limited in their ability to send or withdraw funds.
To lift up this restriction, you need to
login into your account (with your username or SSN and your password),then
you have to complete our verification process. You must confirm your
credit card details and your billing information as well. All restricted
accounts have their billing information unconfirmed, meaning that you may
no longer send money from your account until you have updated your billing
information on file.
