Wells Fargo Authorization: Fill & Download for Free

Q: How do I find out if Wells Fargo opened an account in my name?A: To discover whether or not you have a Wells Fargo account open in your name, take your current government issued ID and:Go in person to your nearest Wells Fargo branch and request to speak with a manager. Explain your concern(s) and then provide your ID and identifying information. The manager should be able to unequivocally tell you how many accounts you have, if any, and whether or not the open accounts are checking/savings or credit accounts. You can always ask to see the screen that they are looking at to assuage your concerns - but expect your request to be turned down. If you desire a second opinion, repeat this process at another Wells Fargo branch. If you are unable to visit a branch during opening hours, then I recommend calling Wells Fargo’s toll-free number and talking to a banker.Request your credit report from all 3 agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) here: Annual Credit Report.com - Home Page. This is the website authorized by the FTC to provide you with your credit report from each agency. Once you receive your full report, scour it for open accounts and closed accounts. If you identify any open or closed accounts that are fraudulent, then proceed with reporting fraud through the 3 agencies.Keep in mind that a significant amount of fake accounts were opened for friends and family members of Wells Fargo employees. If you never did business with Wells Fargo (including having only a mortgage relationship), you are less likely to have a fraudulent account as well.Hope that helps.

Call the phone banking number and give them your social sec number and ask them to share what accounts exist under your name.

I use Stripe on several of my small digital projects, so my company asked that I compare and contrast our current solution (Authorize.net and Wells Fargo) against Stripe.Our monthly fee with Authorize is $20 with a .10¢ transaction fee and a .25¢ batch fee. For our Merchant Account we pay Wells Fargo $35 a month plus 1.5% of total processed funds. We also found that most of our users didn't pay with AMEX so we don't provide this option.With this information I was able to compare Stripe's offering. Here is the breakdown of what we pay monthly with either solution assuming that the average transaction is $10 and batch processing is every 10 orders:$0 (Authorize/WF: $55; Stripe: $0)$1k (Authorize/WF: $105; Stripe: $69)$5k (Authorize/WF: $305; Stripe: $295)$10k (Authorize/WF: $555; Stripe: $590)$20k (Authorize/WF: $1,055; Stripe: $1,180)$30k (Authorize/WF: $1,555; Stripe: $1,770)$40k (Authorize/WF: $2,055; Stripe: $2,360)$50k (Authorize/WF: $2,555; Stripe: $2,950)The numbers obviously show that Authorize.net/Wellsfargo are the clear winner after $5,000. Maybe I am missing some additional fees, but I don't think so. Also, batching 10 cards becomes unrealistic the higher the revenues go (you will batch a lot more at a time).One cost that can't really be quantified is the hassle put into your commerce solution. Authorize/Wellsfargo is initially a pain to setup and to continually monitor all their fees and percentages. Stripe is dead, dead simple and it doesn't require a PhD to figure out what you are going to pay each month. If my personal digital projects ever get bigger than $5,000 I still don't see myself switching off of Stripe. There is just something to be said for hassle free.However, if you have already set up everything with Authorize and your Merchant Account is competitive I wouldn't move (which was my recommendation for the company I work for).
