Open the app and go to your account details

Your routing number is in the Wells Fargo mobile app under your account information. Open the app, sign in, and tap the account you need the routing number for. Then tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) or look for an "Account Details" or "Account Information" option — the exact location varies slightly depending on whether you use iPhone or Android, but it's always in the main account view.

Once you're viewing your account, look for a section labeled "Account Details," "Account Information," or sometimes "Routing & Account Number." This is where Wells Fargo displays both your routing number and your account number together.

Key Takeaways

  • Your routing number appears in the account details section of the Wells Fargo app, alongside your account number.
  • The routing number for Wells Fargo is the same across all their accounts — it does not change by account type or location.
  • If you cannot find the routing number in the app, you can call Wells Fargo customer service or visit a branch to get it.
  • You need your routing number to set up direct deposit, wire transfers, or automatic bill payments from your Wells Fargo account.

What the routing number looks like

Wells Fargo's routing number is a nine-digit code. For most Wells Fargo customers, the routing number is 121000248. This number is the same whether you have a checking account, savings account, or money market account with Wells Fargo.

The routing number tells other banks and payment processors which bank holds your account. It is different from your account number, which is unique to you. When you set up direct deposit or send money between banks, you provide both numbers — the routing number identifies Wells Fargo, and your account number identifies your specific account within Wells Fargo.

Step-by-step: Finding it on iPhone

On an iPhone, open the Wells Fargo app and sign in. Tap the account you want information for. Scroll down or look for a menu button (usually three lines in the top left or bottom right). Select "Account Details" or "Account Information." Your routing number and account number will appear on this screen. You can usually tap to copy the routing number, or take a screenshot for your records.

If you do not see an "Account Details" option, try tapping the account name itself or looking for a gear icon or settings button within that account view. Wells Fargo updates the app regularly, so the exact button names may shift, but the information is always in the account details section.

Step-by-step: Finding it on Android

On Android, the process is nearly identical. Open the Wells Fargo app, sign in, and select the account. Look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) or tap directly on the account name. Select "Account Details" or "Account Information." Your routing number will display alongside your account number.

Some Android versions of the app place this information under a "More" or "Additional Details" menu. If you cannot find it in the main account view, try scrolling down to see if there are additional options below your balance and recent transactions.

When you need the routing number

You will need your Wells Fargo routing number in several common situations. If your employer is setting up direct deposit, they will ask for both your routing number and account number. If you are transferring money from another bank to Wells Fargo, that bank will ask for your Wells Fargo routing number. If you are setting up automatic bill payments through Wells Fargo's bill pay service, you may need it to authorize the transfer.

You also need the routing number if you are receiving a wire transfer from someone else. The person sending the wire will provide it to their bank along with your account number. The routing number ensures the money reaches Wells Fargo and not another financial institution.

If you cannot find it in the app

If the routing number is not visible in your account details section, try signing out and signing back in. Sometimes the app needs to refresh to display all account information. If that does not work, you can call Wells Fargo customer service at the number on the back of your debit card or visit a Wells Fargo branch in person.

You can also find the routing number on a check from your Wells Fargo account — it appears in the bottom left corner of the check, printed as a nine-digit number. If you have not ordered checks yet, calling customer service is the fastest option.
