Wells Fargo Launches ATM Cash Tracker Money Management Tool

"Budgeting and money management are top of mind for customers today. We wanted to create a tool that would help our customers by tracking their ATM withdrawals for better budgeting," said Alicia Moore, head of Wells Fargo ATM Banking. "Wells Fargo is committed to helping our customers succeed financially and we're excited to offer this newest personal financial management tool."

ATM Cash Tracker allows customers to set a monthly withdrawal target and provides detail about how much the customer withdrew the prior month and their average over the past 12 months. Once established, an ATM Cash Tracker button will automatically appear on the customers' personalized Main Menu screen to help visually track progress.

Customers can set and update ATM Cash Tracker by selecting the "More Choices" button on the Main Menu and then selecting the "Set ATM Cash Tracker" button. ATM Cash Tracker covers cash withdrawals at Wells Fargo ATMs only, and is available only to Wells Fargo customers. The service will become available to Wachovia customers once their state converts to Wells Fargo. The conversion of Wachovia locations to Wells Fargo is planned to take place through 2011.

All of Wells Fargo's more than 12,000 You Know Me ATMs remember customers' most used transactions, for faster, more convenient banking; and:
