As referenced in your Welcome Package, some of the fees associated with your accounts may have changed.  Flagstar is waiving those fees for the first 60 days, but they will still show up on your account, then be reversed by the next day. This is so you can see the fee structure of your accounts, and won’t have any surprises at the end of the 60 day welcome period.

For overdraft, or other fees that Flagstar is waiving due to the disruption and lack of access during conversion, you will see the fees assessed, and then reversed by the next day.  If you have other, third party fees that you incurred as a result of the conversion, please visit your local branch or give us a call at 888-248-6423, and we will make it right.

Flagstar's routing number is: 272471852.

As of the close of business on November 30, 2018, your account and related services automatically moved to Flagstar. If you have accounts that you expected to move that did not, contact Wells Fargo, or visit a Flagstar branch.

We’ve taken great care to match your current accounts to accounts at Flagstar that offer similar features and benefits. To give you time to make sure your account is right for you, we'll waive the monthly maintenance service charge, if applicable, for two months. This waiver also includes the paper statement fee if one normally applies. Refer to your welcome package, mailed to you in early November, for detailed account information.

In most cases, account numbers for deposit accounts will remain the same. If your account number changes, we’ll let you know in advance in a separate, secure mailing prior to November 30.

You should have already received new checks along with instructions for ordering more. Please begin using your new checks Saturday, December 1, 2018. You can use your existing Wells Fargo checks until December 31, 2018.

If you wish to make changes, updates, or additions to the information displayed on your checks, please visit your nearest branch or call us at (888) 248-6423.

Wells Fargo checks written prior to December 1, 2018 that have not yet posted will be processed as usual through the end of the year.

Yes, if you have direct deposit of Social Security, payroll, or other regular payments into an account that’s moving to Flagstar, your direct deposit service will continue uninterrupted, though you may experience a delay, with those deposits not showing up until mid-day of the depositor updating the routing number (272471852).

You’ll need to re-establish any current automatic transfers between your accounts – both from within Flagstar or with a non-Flagstar bank. You can set these up at a branch, by phone, or online on or after December 3.

No. You must provide the third party with Flagstar’s routing number (272471852). Otherwise, the payment will not be processed properly.

If you currently have Overdraft Protection for your checking account provided by a savings account (Linked Account) that’s also moving to Flagstar, you’ll continue to have Overdraft Protection after November 30. If your savings account is not moving to Flagstar, your overdraft protection will not continue.

If you have Overdraft Protection from a credit card, personal line of credit or home equity line of credit (HELOC), your Overdraft Protection will not transfer.

If you would like to enroll for Overdraft Protection from a linked Flagstar account or apply for an overdraft line of credit (ODLOC), please visit your local branch on or after December 3.

Your final deposit account statement from Wells Fargo will be mailed to you at the end of November – even if you currently receive a quarterly statement. After December 1, statement cycles may change slightly, meaning statements may be sent on a different day than in the past.

You’ll receive statements for checking, savings, and money market accounts by mail even if you currently receive eStatements. Paper statement fees, if applicable, will be waived for 2 months to give you time to sign up for free eStatements if you wish. You can sign up for eStatements on or after December 3 once you have enrolled in online banking.

Statements will no longer be sent for certificates of deposit (CDs) or IRA CDs. You can always verify your interest rate and interest earned through Flagstar Online Banking, Mobile Banking or Telephone Banking.

All statements will be sent to the primary address we have on file for you. Multiple statements for an account cannot be accommodated.

No. Securely destroy your Wells Fargo card and use your Flagstar Bank card.

You should already have received a Flagstar Bank Debit or ATM card in the mail.  Please remember to activate your card and establish a PIN.

You can use your Flagstar card fee free at any Flagstar ATM, as well as at over 56,000 Allpoint and Presto! ATMs. Visit flagstar.com/locations for the ATM nearest you.

Please remember: If you currently have any payments automatically deducted from your debit card, you’ll need to provide your new Flagstar card information to all billers to avoid interruptions in payment.

If you have issues with your card please visit your nearest branch or call us at 888-248-6423.
