Account Aggregator Service

The Account Aggregator Service is a personal information management service allowing you to view, consolidate and manage your online account information from multiple third-party financial institutions and service providers you have designated from time to time (“Third-Party Institutions”) in the same manner as the viewing of your Wells Fargo accounts in the Online Service. The Account Aggregator Service is provided in part by Plaid, Inc., a third-party service provider that is not affiliated with Wells Fargo (“Plaid” or "the TPSP"). The Service is provided by us to you as a convenience. By accepting these Terms of Use and utilizing the Service, you hereby consent to the TPSP’s access to your personal account information from the Third-Party Institutions as designated by you from time to time. Information that may be accessed from one or more of your accounts held at a Third-Party Institution includes, but is not limited to, account numbers and account holder information, account transactions, account statements, account position and balance information ("Aggregated Information"). In order to retrieve this Aggregated Information, you may be required to supply the TPSP with your credentials used to log into online portals at the Third-Party Institutions (“the Websites”), including, but not limited to, usernames, passwords, PIN numbers, multifactor authentication questions and answers, one-time access PINs, and other related information (“Credentials”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, such Credentials will not be used or shared by the TPSP or Wells Fargo with any other party, except as required to accomplish the foregoing and to configure the Service for compatibility with the Websites or to retrieve Aggregated Information. Your Aggregated Information may also be viewed by your financial advisor.

For purposes of these Terms and solely to provide the Service to you, you hereby grant Wells Fargo and the TPSP a limited power of attorney, and you appoint us and the TPSP, each with authority to act independently or jointly, as your true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and agents, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for you and in your name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to access the Websites to retrieve Aggregated Information and use your Credentials to provide the Service to you; and, subject to Wells Fargo's Privacy Policy and the TPSP’s Privacy Policy, to use your Aggregated Information, with the full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with such activities, as fully to all intents and purposes as you might or could do directly. You agree that we and the TPSP are entitled to rely on the authorizations, agency and limited power of attorney granted by you to us and the TPSP. You acknowledge and agree that when we or the TPSP are accessing and retrieving Aggregated Information from the Websites, we or the TPSP are acting as your agent, and not as the agent for or on behalf of the Third-Party Institutions.

Neither Wells Fargo nor the TPSP are able to verify the accuracy of the data pertaining to the Aggregated Information.

In certain circumstances, Aggregated Information from the same account(s) at a Third-Party Institution may be displayed more than once.

Notices

  1. Generally. Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Terms, we will provide you notices and other information regarding the Service ("Account Related Information") via postal mail, electronically, or by other means available. This information will be sent to the postal or electronic address ("e-address") you provide to us. The e-address may be an e-mail address, text messaging number, or other electronic access address provided to us.

  2. Electronic Delivery. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, if we are required to provide you with information in writing, we may, at our option, send it electronically either:
    • i. to your e-address (if you have consented to electronic delivery); or;
    • ii. by posting the information through our Online Service and sending you a notice to your e-address telling you that the information has been posted and providing instructions on how to view it. You agree that we may satisfy our obligation to provide you with an annual copy of the Wells Fargo Privacy Policy by keeping it available for review through our Online Service.
  3. Address Changes. You agree that you will notify us in the event of a change to your postal address or e-address.

Unless you instruct us otherwise, we may in our sole discretion change the postal or e-address only for the account(s) you specify or for all or some of your other account(s) with us.

  4. Implementation of Notices. Any notice you send us will not be effective until we actually receive it and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. If there is more than one owner or authorized party on your account, we may send Account Related Information to any one of them. You assume the risk of loss in the mail or otherwise in transit. Any notice or Account Related Information we send you will be effective when mailed, sent electronically or otherwise made available to you.

General Provisions

  1. Terms of Use Amendments. We may change the terms of these Terms of Use at any time without prior notice to you and such changes will be made by updating these Terms through our Online Service and/or the Account Aggregator Service. You will be notified of such changes and your continued use of the Service after we send you notice of any changes will signify your acceptance of the change. Except as otherwise required by law, any change to these Terms applies only to transactions that occur, or claims that arise, after the amendment becomes effective.
  2. Service or Transaction Delays. In no event will Wells Fargo be liable for any failure of performance, without limitation, including due to circumstances beyond our control (such as power outage, computer virus, system failure, fire, flood, earthquake or extreme weather).

These Terms of Use will be in effect from the date your enrollment in the Service is accepted by Wells Fargo until the Service is canceled by you or Wells Fargo or the TPSP as set forth in the Use of the Service section of these Terms.
