Wells Fargo Check Layout and Security Features

Wells Fargo checks are printed and shipped through Deluxe, which has held Wells Fargo's check-printing relationship for decades and also fulfills checks for several other large banks — the paper, microprinting, and security screen follow the same industry-standard specification rather than a Wells-Fargo-specific design. Wells Fargo traces its name back to the 1852 stagecoach express company Wells, Fargo & Co., though the modern bank's check format follows the same shared ANSI/ABA MICR standard as any other U.S. bank rather than anything tied to that history.

Finding Your Wells Fargo Routing Number

121000248 is Wells Fargo's most commonly cited routing number, generally associated with California, but Wells Fargo is one of the largest branch networks in the country and assigns different routing numbers by the state where an account was opened.

Confirm your specific number on the bottom-left of an existing Wells Fargo check, in Wells Fargo Online under account details, or by calling 1-800-TO-WELLS — don't rely on a single number pulled from a search result if you're printing a check you intend to deposit or hand to someone else.

Ordering Checks from Wells Fargo

Deluxe has held Wells Fargo's check-printing contract for decades, so orders route to Deluxe's systems even when you start from Wells Fargo's own site. Order from Wells Fargo Online (look under account services for "Order Checks" or "Reorder Checks"), by calling 1-800-TO-WELLS (1-800-869-3557), or at a branch. Standard delivery within the continental U.S. is typically quoted at around 7-10 business days, with Alaska and Hawaii sometimes taking a few days longer.

Pricing depends on the design and quantity selected. Prime Checking and Premier Checking, Wells Fargo's two interest-bearing personal tiers, include free Wells Fargo Personal Wallet checks as an account perk — worth checking before paying full price on a lower tier.

Business vs. Personal Wells Fargo Checks

Wells Fargo's personal checking lineup runs from Clear Access Banking (around $5/month, checkless by design — no paper checks at all) through Everyday Checking (around $10/month, waived with direct deposit or a $500 balance), Prime Checking (around $25/month, interest-bearing, waived at $20,000 in linked balances), and Premier Checking (around $35/month, interest-bearing, Wells Fargo's top personal tier). Everyday Checking, Prime, and Premier all support standard personal check printing; Clear Access Banking doesn't.

On the business side, Wells Fargo offers several tiers including Business Choice Checking and Platinum Business Checking, aimed at higher transaction volumes.
