What is the new Wells Fargo Option that is available to Cal State L.A. One Card Holders?
When your Cal State L.A. One Card is linked to a FREE Wells Fargo College checking account, you can use it at more than 6,900 Wells Fargo ATMs for free and at any ATM or business that accepts PIN-based debit transactions. This is no a credit card. It is a debit card, so funds for ATM or PIN-based transactions using your Cal State L.A. One Card are deducted from your primary linked Wells Fargo checking account.
What do I need to bring to open my free Wells Fargo College Checking account?
You will need two valid forms of identification:
- Government-issued identification card from the federal, state, tribal, or foreign government. Examples include: Driver's license, State issued ID card, passport, and military ID.
- Secondary identification from a recognized business, educational institution, or government agency. Examples include: Student ID, Social Security card, Resident Alien card, and Matricula card.
What if I already have an existing Wells Fargo Account?
You can LINK your new Cal State L.A. One Card to your existing Wells Fargo checking account starting in fall 2007 by visiting any Wells Fargo banking locations in the Los Angeles area.
Can I have my Financial Aid directly deposited into my Wells Fargo checking account?
Yes. Financial aid recipients may have their funds directly deposited into a checking account at any financial institution, including Wells Fargo. The money will be sent electronically to your account - no more waiting in line to receive or cash your check!
For more information regarding Financial Aid Direct Deposit, please visit the Cal State L.A. Disbursement Office, Administration Building Room 131, or go to the Center for Student Financial Aid.
What should I do if my Cal State L.A. One Card is lost or stolen?
