As the destruction of Wachovia proceeds, my Wachovia credit card has moved to Wells Fargo. As best I can tell, it's old style Web connect - you have to go the their web site and manually download the updates.
Am I missing something? Can what I think was called Web Express be made to work?
Marc: I download my WF Business Visa via Express Web Connect. So, it is possible. Bob
I download WF using direct connect, but I pay $3.00 per month for it.

Yet another service charge best described as a RIP OFF.

I had to disable online access then enable it, specifying Wells Fargo instead of Wachovia. (I think there were 3 or 4 choces that all included "Wells Fargo". I tried each one until it worked). Now it works fine every day. And there is no fee.
However a WF rep told me they haven't yet decided if they will contine the service for free. I made it clear to him and my local branch manager that as soon as they start charging me for stuff Wachovia offered for free, I would close all my accounts.
By whatever name, it can be made to work as an automatic part of your Online Update. As others have mentioned, you will have to disable online updates on your Waco card, then re-enable and select the right Wells Fargo FI. For me it will not do the same Direct Connect I had with Wachovia, but the difference is practically indistinguishable. What is not indistinguishable is the contortion I must now go through to make an online payment from my Wachovia Checking account to my "Wells Fargo" Visa card. Instead of a simple Quicken transfer, I must not open a browser window, log on to Wachovia, link to Wells Fargo, log on there, then open the Visa account, select "Transfer" from another FI, and finally get the option to select from a pull down list the various sources still at Wachovia and then select the new WF Visa in the transfer to drop down. Along the way it never feels like a designed path, rather more like an accidental capability that could close at any time. Neither do I receive any sort of confirmation number I might refer to later in case of a disputed payment date.
Bank merger letters always start out assuring that you will lose no capability you were used to, then leave it to the customer to find all the exceptions to the original assurance.
Good luck, I assume they will move checking and savings accounts as well as HLOC and mortgages individually too over the next 12-18 months .

Hmm. I use Online Billpay. I just created a new Online Payee specifying the name and address on my WF Visa statement and told Quicken to tell Wachovia to pay it -- just like it pays my phone bill, CCTV, electric bill, taxes etc etc.
