Great to have these kinds of controls on a card
Updated app then try to open sends me back to Google play store
Unable to get card register
Unable to use Wells Fargo accounts with this app
It cant validate my home address
Then the app locked me out for trying to register multiple times
And they won't send me a password token to reset it
