Wells Fargo Card Activation

Wells Fargo's pilot trial for cardless withdrawals must have gone well, because the bank is rolling out the feature to all of its 13,000 ATMs across the country. The company debuted the feature in select ATMs earlier this year. Starting on March 27th, though, you can withdraw cash from any of the bank's machines using only your smartphone. You'll have to request an eight-digit code from the Wells Fargo app to punch into the machine along with your PIN code every time you want to withdraw money. Take note, however, that the code can only be used once and won't be enough to open some branches' secure doors during non-business hours -- you'll still need your card for that.
Your obligation to review statements and items and to report irregularities. You agree to promptly and carefully examine each statement you receive from the Bank. You will promptly report any erroneous credit. Within 30 days after the Bank mails or otherwise makes the statement available to you, you will report to the Bank any claim for credit or refund due for example (and without limitation) to either an erroneous debit, a missing signature, an unauthorized signature, or a material alteration. If you don't, the stated balance will be conclusively presumed to be correct. This means that the Bank is released from all liability for the Items charged to your Collateral Account, and for all other transactions or matters covered by the statement.
