Wells Bells!
As seen on Finance For Youth: The Blog
As promised, I’ve reviewed Wells Fargo in the same manner that I reviewed Bank of America.
Wells Fargo is a little different because it touts itself highly as being an online bank.

Wow! For an online bank, they charge for Bill Pay, which is unheard of today. I also really didn’t like the idea that they only discount your fee if you have direct deposit. A bank that large would do well (get it? WELL), to waive a monthly fee like every other institution in the free world.
