Wells Fargo credit card approval odds are best for people who have good credit. Therefore, all Wells Fargo credit cards require a credit score of 700+.

Other Factors That Determine Your Approval Odds for a Wells Fargo Credit Card

Keep in mind that the higher an applicant’s credit score, the higher their approval odds are likely to be. But approval depends on many other factors as well. For example, applicants must have enough income to make payments on the card. Plus, a higher income also leads to better approval chances. Other factors that will play a role in approval include existing debts, monthly housing payments and more.

Ultimately, you can check your Wells Fargo credit card approval odds before you apply by using their online pre-approval tool. Moreover, Wells Fargo also sends out pre-approved offers by mail. Keep in mind, however, that pre-approval does not mean guaranteed approval.
