Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo — the same bank found to have opened millions of fake accounts customers never requested (2016) — binds deposit customers to a Deposit Account Agreement (effective July 28, 2026) whose dispute-resolution provisions include an arbitration agreement, a class action waiver AND a jury trial waiver, and recommends that customers keep a copy 'for as long as your Wells Fargo accounts are open.' So the bank with the documented history of creating accounts people didn't ask for also routes account disputes away from court. (Whether the full agreement is handed over at account opening was not verified.)

Arbitration

Deposit Account Agreement contains dispute-resolution provisions including an arbitration agreement, class action waiver, AND jury trial waiver, explicitly called out as affecting legal rights; the Agreement (effective July 28, 2026) recommends keeping a copy 'for as long as your Wells Fargo accounts are open' and says the current version is available at wellsfargo.com, at branches or by phone. Whether the full text is provided at account opening was not verified.

Legal notice. PUBLIC COMPANY (WFC). Service route: c/o General Counsel / Corporate Secretary, San Francisco, California — the corporate address on the SEC Form 10-K cover page is the official address of record. Confirm the exact street address on the current 10-K at sec.gov/edgar, and check the state-of-incorporation registered agent (usually Delaware; most large filers use The Corporation Trust Company or Corporation Service Company) via the Secretary of State business-entity search. A registered agent MUST accept service, which is why it is the reliable channel when a company publishes no privacy address.
