Wells Fargo - Accountant Access / Issues
Hey everyone,
I run an accounting firm that handles bookkeeping for roughly 500 small businesses. We work primarily in QBO/QBD, and for most clients we have accountant-level bank access so we can log in, pull statements, check images, and download activity directly on their behalf.
Lately, Wells Fargo has become a massive headache. They’ve started blocking our devices from logging in, even after we’ve called the fraud department multiple times. No real answers, no resolution. We’ve even sat with clients in person to call in together — still nothing.
It’s gotten to the point where clients are having Wells Fargo close their accounts and open new ones, just sending them a notice that their accounts are being reset.
Has anyone else run into this?
What solutions or workarounds have you found to prevent Wells Fargo from flagging or blocking legitimate accountant access?
