How to fix Wells Fargo not working
Wells Fargo is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach wellsfargo.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Open Wells Fargo over cellular
Turn Wi-Fi off in Control Center on iPhone or from the Quick Settings panel on Android, then open the app over cellular. If the sign-on screen loads, your Wi-Fi router or DNS is the problem. Restart the router and test again.
Turn off VPN for Wells Fargo
Disconnect any VPN from Control Center on iPhone or Settings > Network & internet > VPN on Android, then set Private DNS to Off or Automatic under Settings > Network & internet > Private DNS. A hidden DNS layer can leave you on a blank sign-on screen.
Clear Wells Fargo app cache
On Android, go to Settings > Apps > Wells Fargo > Storage & cache and tap Clear cache, then reopen the app and sign in. Clear storage only after you know your username and password, because it wipes local app data.
Reinstall Wells Fargo
Delete the app from your home screen, restart the phone, then install it again from the App Store or Google Play. That clears old app data. Sign in with your username and password, then turn Face ID or Touch ID back on if you had it enabled.

What happens when Wells Fargo goes down
Wells Fargo is a US bank with mobile and online banking. People rely on it to deposit paychecks, pay bills, send transfers, and manage cards, so an outage interrupts those tasks, and the status at the top shows if user problem reports are above their usual level.
The site does not ping, probe, poll, or monitor the bank itself; its status comes from user problem reports counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Login fails first. You see stale balances, and transfers or bill payments stop before confirmation. Mobile check deposit can reject the photo, and problems often stay regional or partial, so the app can fail on one phone while the website works.

How we track Wells Fargo
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Wells Fargo, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Wells Fargo, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Wells Fargo doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
