How Do I Cancel an Existing Transfer in My Wells Fargo Account?
When you need to cancel an existing transfer in your Wells Fargo account, you can stop it by logging into your account on your computer or tablet. Transfers already processing are typically not eligible for cancelation; however, pending transfers for recurring payments can be canceled up to midnight on the day before the scheduled transaction. From the "Bill Pay" section of your account, you can manage all your upcoming transfers to avoid overdrafts, overpayments or other issues.
Using bill pay through Wells Fargo allows you to transfer funds from your account to another person or business either through one-time payments or recurring payments, but how do you cancel an existing transfer? You can learn more about bill payment services by calling Wells Fargo customer support, and below are steps to canceling an existing transfer.
Before Deleting a Transfer
It's important to know how quickly transfers will be made from your account so you can cancel the payment before it begins processing, including:
- Same-day transfers are made almost immediately; therefore, these transactions cannot be canceled once requested.
- Recurring transactions that are set for future dates can be canceled, but you must make the request before the due date to avoid funds being drawn from your account.
- Transfers to a non-Wells Fargo account can take several days to complete but typically cannot be canceled once the payment starts processing.
Canceling an Existing Transfer With Wells Fargo
When you need to cancel an existing, scheduled transfer in your Wells Fargo account, do the following:
- Log into your Wells Fargo deposit account through your computer or mobile device.
- Go to the "Bill Pay" page.
- Locate the transfer you wish to cancel under "Transfer and Payment Activity" on the computer or "Scheduled Transfers and Payments" on your phone or tablet.
- Select "View/Delete" to delete an existing transfer from the computer or "Delete Transfer" on your mobile device.
- You can elect to delete the payee entirely and remove any future payments, or you can elect to delete the upcoming transfer but not the entire payment series.
- Review your changes and click "Save" to delete the existing transfer from your Wells Fargo account.
Important to Know
If you transfer funds from one Wells Fargo deposit account to another deposit account in your name, the money will be available to you immediately. If your next scheduled payment falls on a holiday or weekend, it will not be processed until the next business day, and you have until 11:59 PM Pacific Time the date before the scheduled transaction to delete the payment and avoid having funds moved from your account.
