• Your business checking accounts: Initiate Business Checking® and Additional Navigate Business Checking PLUS

Your Navigate Business Checking account cannot be linked to another Navigate Business Checking account for combined balances. Other accounts linked to your Navigate Business Checking account for combined balances, such as a Business Market Rate Savings account, cannot simultaneously be linked to another Navigate Business Checking account to avoid the monthly service fee with combined balances.

The Optimize Business Checking account is eligible for an earnings allowance to offset eligible fees and expenses, including certain service fees. To calculate your earnings allowance, we apply the earnings credit rate to the investable balance available for services in your account. The earnings credit rate is a variable rate that the Bank can change at any time. The rate appears on your client analysis statement.

If your earnings allowance is greater than the total eligible fees for a given statement period, we won't credit that amount to your account or carry it forward to the following statement period. In any statement period where your fees exceed your earnings allowance, we'll debit your account or invoice you for the difference.

The monthly maintenance fee for the first five Optimize Business Checking accounts within a billing relationship are included in the monthly maintenance fee of $75. Additional Optimize Business Checking accounts in excess of five are $30 each. See the Business Account Fee and Information Schedule for additional business account information.

Optimize Business Checking account transactions are withdrawals or debits posted to your account and checks deposited electronically within a billing relationship. Non-electronic deposits will incur a separate fee. 

Non-electronic deposits are processed by a teller or mailed to the Bank. Wells Fargo Business Debit or ATM Card purchases and payments are not assessed a transaction fee by Wells Fargo. Additionally, these transactions won't be counted as part of the transaction limit on Optimize Business Checking.
