Step 3: Finding Your Deposited Check in Account Activity
Now that you're in your account, it's time to locate that deposited check.
Viewing Recent Deposits (Both App & Desktop)
- Scroll Through Transactions: On your account activity page, you'll see a list of your recent transactions. Deposits will be clearly listed.
- Look for the Check Icon: For transactions that originated from a check deposit (especially mobile deposits or checks deposited at an ATM), you'll often see a small check icon next to the transaction details. This icon is your visual cue that an image of the check is available.
- Check Status: The status of your deposit will be visible here. It might say "Pending," "Posted," or "Available."
- Important Note: If a check is still "Pending," it means the funds aren't fully available yet, and an image might not be accessible until it posts. Wells Fargo typically makes funds available the next business day, but holds can occur for various reasons (large amounts, new accounts, etc.). If a hold is placed, you'll usually see a notification with the expected availability date.
Viewing the Check Image (Both App & Desktop)
- Click/Tap the Check Icon: Once you spot the transaction with the check icon, simply click or tap on it. This action will typically open a pop-up window or take you to a new screen displaying the front and back images of the deposited check.
- Review Details: Take a moment to review the check image. You can usually see:
- The check number
- The date it was written
- The payee
- The amount
- Any endorsements on the back
Step 4: Searching for Specific or Older Deposits
What if you're looking for a check deposited a while ago, or you have a specific check number or amount in mind? Wells Fargo's search functionality comes to the rescue!
Using the Search Feature (Both App & Desktop)
- Locate the Search Bar/Option: On your account activity page, look for a "Search" bar or a "Filter" option. This is often represented by a magnifying glass icon.
- Enter Search Criteria: You can usually search by:
- Check Number: If you know the specific check number.
- Amount: You can search for a specific amount or a range of amounts.
- Date Range: This is incredibly useful for finding deposits made within a certain period. Wells Fargo generally allows you to view up to 18 months of transaction history online.
- Keyword: Sometimes, you might be able to search for "deposit" or "check."
- Apply Filters/Search: After entering your criteria, click "Search" or "Apply Filters" to narrow down your transactions.
- View Results: The system will display transactions matching your criteria. From there, you can click on the check icon to view the image as described in Step 3.
Accessing Online Statements for Older History
For transactions older than 18 months, or if you prefer a monthly summary, your online statements are the key.
- Navigate to Statements & Documents: On the Wells Fargo Online Banking platform, look for a "Statements & Documents" or "eStatements" section. In the mobile app, this might be under a "More" or "Account Services" menu.
- Select Account and Statement Period: Choose the account and the specific statement period you wish to view. Wells Fargo typically retains online statements for up to 7 years for most deposit accounts.
- Download/View Statement: You can then view or download your statement in PDF format. While the statement itself won't have clickable check images, it will show the posted transaction details, and if you need an image of a very old check, you might need to request a copy directly from Wells Fargo (fees may apply for paper copies).
Step 5: Saving or Printing Your Check Image
Once you have the check image on your screen, you might want to save it for your records or print it.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Saving the Image (Desktop)
- Right-Click (Windows) or Ctrl+Click (Mac): Position your cursor over the check image.
- Select "Save Image As" or "Download Image to Disk": Choose the appropriate option from the context menu.
- Choose a Location: Select a folder on your computer where you want to save the image.

Printing the Image (Desktop)
