To get a Wells Fargo Active Cash PIN, call the number on the back of the Wells Fargo Active Cash card and ask customer service for a PIN.

Best Way to Get a Wells Fargo Active Cash Credit Card PIN

Call Wells Fargo customer service at 1-800-642-4720 or call the number on the back of your Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card.
Inform the representative that you want a credit card PIN.
Receive the PIN in the mail, over text, or by email. It’s unlikely that Wells Fargo Active Cash customer service will be able to provide a PIN over the phone.

If your credit card had a PIN in the past, but you’ve forgotten or misplaced it, Wells Fargo may tell you to look for the PIN before they generate a new one. It may be listed in credit card-related mailings or your online account. And if you need a PIN for a cash advance, it’s important to note that cash advances have high fees and interest rates, so you’ll generally want to avoid them whenever possible.

Finally, keep in mind that even though the Wells Fargo Active Cash credit card has PIN capabilities, it’s still a signature-preferred credit card. This means it may not work at unattended kiosks abroad, like in a train station or parking garage, but you should have little trouble elsewhere.

Wells Fargo allows customers to choose their own credit card PIN. You will need this PIN if you ever want to get a cash advance from your Wells Fargo credit card at an ATM. While it’s good to have a PIN so you can take out cash in emergency situations, it’s not a good idea to get cash advances on a regular basis. Cash advances have large fees and high interest rates, and interest starts accruing immediately, with no grace period.

In general, you won’t need a Wells Fargo credit card PIN for making purchases, except at certain unattended terminals – such as ticket kiosks, parking lots and gas stations – in foreign countries. Regular merchants abroad should still take your card even without a PIN.
