With your Wells Fargo Debit Card, you can access money from the primary linked checking account by using it to make purchases. You can also get cash, transfer funds, make deposits and more at Wells Fargo ATMs, and get cash at non-Wells Fargo ATMs that participate in the Visa and Plus networks.
Types of Debit Cards
- Debit Card. Customers with an eligible Wells Fargo checking account can make everyday purchases using their debit card at participating retailers and service providers – including online or by phone. Pay with confidence knowing your Wells Fargo Debit Card comes with many protection features.
- Campus Card. A Wells Fargo Campus ATM Card serves as an official campus ID card and can also be an ATM card - all in one. Use this card to access campus privileges, for optional banking access at ATMs, and to make purchases using a Personal Identification Number (PIN). A Wells Fargo Campus Affinity Debit Card is a custom, co-branded Visa® debit card issued by Wells Fargo. Customers can use this card to access ATMs and to make purchases. Note: There is no campus-access feature with this card. Eligibility for both Campus ATM Card and Campus Affinity Debit Card are based on university and college participation in the Wells Fargo Campus CardSM program.

Contactless cards with chip technology
Wells Fargo offers debit cards with contactless technology, which helps provide a speedy and secure purchase and checkout experience. A contactless card allows you to tap your debit card against a reader in addition to inserting or swiping your card. When you tap to pay or access an ATM, your card uses the advanced encryption and safeguards provided by the chip on your card. Look for the Contactless Symbol at contactless-enabled merchant terminals, transit turnstiles, and for use at Wells Fargo ATMs.
Learn more about the contactless card.
Chip technology
Wells Fargo Debit Cards include chip technology on the front of the card, plus the traditional magnetic stripe on the back. The chip provides added security because it is extremely difficult to counterfeit or copy when used at a chip-enabled terminal or ATM, and does not store any personal information. If a merchant or ATM has not yet adopted chip technology, your transaction will be processed using the magnetic stripe.
