Wells Fargo does not publish daily ATM limits by account. It provides your limits when you receive your card, and you can confirm them in Wells Fargo Online, the Wells Fargo Mobile app, or by phone.

How Wells Fargo Limits Can Change
Wells Fargo says it may increase your card’s daily purchase or ATM withdrawal limit, without telling you, based on account history, activity and other factors. It does not publish how new-account limits compare with established ones.
If your limit is lower than you need, call to ask about it.

How to Increase Your Wells Fargo ATM Limit
Temporary Increase
Call 1-800-869-3557 and request a temporary increase — see how to reach a Wells Fargo live person quickly to skip the phone tree. You’ll need:
- The reason (travel, large cash purchase, etc.)
- The date range for the increase
- The amount needed
Typically approved same-day. Reverts automatically after your stated period.
Permanent Increase
- Account upgrade: Move to Prime Checking ($25/month fee, waived with qualifying balances) or Premier Checking
- Account history review: After 90+ days, call to request a formal limit review
- Branch visit: May have more flexibility for permanent increases
Instant Option: Branch Teller
For immediate large cash needs, visit a Wells Fargo branch. Teller withdrawals bypass ATM limits entirely. Bring your ID and debit card.

ATM Limit Reset Time
Wells Fargo daily ATM limits reset at midnight Pacific Time — note this is different from banks that reset at midnight ET. If you’re on the East Coast, your limit resets at 3:00 AM ET.
When Your Limit Isn’t Enough
| Need | Solution |

| Large cash today | Branch teller withdrawal |
| Upcoming travel | Call 800-869-3557 for temporary increase |
| Recurring large cash needs | Upgrade to Prime or Premier Checking |
| Business cash needs | Wells Fargo business account (higher limits) |
For sending large amounts without cash, Zelle and wire transfers have much higher daily limits than ATMs. See the Wells Fargo transfer limit guide for Zelle, ACH, and wire limits.

Wells Fargo shows your own limit when you receive your card, so check it before you need a large amount of cash.
