Step 2: Enrolling in Wells Fargo Online® (If You Haven't Already)
If you're not yet enrolled in Wells Fargo Online, this is your first crucial step. It's a simple process that unlocks a world of online banking convenience.

- Provide Your Information: You'll be prompted to enter the information listed above. Be sure to enter it accurately.
- Create Your Username and Password: Choose a strong, unique username and password. Wells Fargo will guide you on the criteria (e.g., combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters). Do not use personal information easily guessable by others.
- Agree to Terms and Conditions: Read through the Wells Fargo Online Access Agreement. Once you understand and agree, proceed.
- Confirm and Activate: Follow any remaining prompts to confirm your enrollment. You may receive an email or text message with a verification code to complete the activation.

Step 3: Logging In to Wells Fargo Online®
This is where you gain access to your accounts.
Sub-heading: Accessing Your Account via Desktop:
- Go to WellsFargo.com: Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the official Wells Fargo website (
www.wellsfargo.com - Locate the "Sign On" Button: This is usually in the top right corner of the homepage. Click on it.
- Enter Your Username and Password: Carefully type in the username and password you created during enrollment.
- Click "Sign On": After entering your credentials, click the "Sign On" button. You might be asked to complete a security verification, such as entering a code sent to your phone or answering a security question.
Sub-heading: Accessing Your Account via the Wells Fargo Mobile® App:
For on-the-go access, the Wells Fargo Mobile app is incredibly convenient.
- Download the App: If you haven't already, download the Wells Fargo Mobile® app from your device's app store (App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android).
- Open the App: Launch the Wells Fargo Mobile® app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Enter Your Username and Password: Just like the desktop version, enter your Wells Fargo Online username and password.
- Utilize Biometric Sign-On (Optional): If your device supports it and you've enabled it, you can sign in using Face ID® or Touch ID® for a quick and secure login experience.
Step 4: Navigating to Your Card Details
Once you're successfully logged in, the next step is to find the specific card you want to view.
- Locate Your Accounts Summary: On your Wells Fargo Online dashboard or the app's home screen, you'll see a summary of all your Wells Fargo accounts (checking, savings, credit cards, loans, etc.).
- Select Your Credit Card Account: Carefully click or tap on the specific credit card account for which you want to view the card number. This will take you to that card's detailed overview.
Step 5: Viewing Your Wells Fargo Card Number Online
Now for the main event! Wells Fargo understands the need for security, so they don't display your full card number prominently. You'll typically find an option to securely reveal it.
Sub-heading: The "View Card Details" or "Card Controls" Section:
- Look for "Card Details" or "Card Controls": Within your selected credit card's account details page, scan for a link or button that says something like "Card Details," "View Card Details," "Manage Card," or "Card Controls." This is often found under an "Account Management" or "Account Services" section.
- Click or Tap to Proceed: Click or tap on this option.
- Security Verification (Crucial Step!): For security purposes, Wells Fargo will almost certainly require an additional verification step before displaying your full card number. This might involve:
- Entering a one-time passcode sent to your registered mobile phone or email address.
- Answering a security question you previously set up.
- Using biometric verification (like a fingerprint or facial scan) if you're on the mobile app and have enabled it.
- Do not skip this step. It's there to protect your financial information.
- View Your Card Number: Once you successfully complete the security verification, your full 16-digit card number (or the relevant portion of it, depending on the display), along with the expiration date and CVV/security code, should be revealed.
Important Considerations:
- Security First: Never write down your full card number, expiration date, and CVV/security code together in an unsecured location. Memorize them if you need them frequently, or access them securely online as demonstrated.
- Digital Wallets: Remember that adding your Wells Fargo card to a digital wallet (like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay) replaces your actual card number with a unique "digital card number" for added security during transactions. You won't see your physical card number within the digital wallet itself.
- Virtual Card Numbers: Some Wells Fargo credit cards might offer virtual card numbers for online shopping. These are temporary or single-use numbers that protect your actual card details. If you're looking for these, they'll typically be in a separate section within "Card Controls" or "Security."
By following these steps, you should be able to securely view your Wells Fargo credit card number online whenever you need it.
