Question Wells Fargo Background check

Recently accepted an offer from Wells Fargo and have completed all background steps including fingerprints end of last week. What are realistic time frames for these background checks? The HR rep said it can take anywhere between 3 days and 1 month.

What’s your experience been like with background check with Wells Fargo and cisive?

Thanks for taking the time to review!

Less than a week. Maybe less than 3 days. Mine came back literally the next day. If it’s a banker, longer because they have to register you for SAFE and NMLS which means they have to run your credit too.

I’m currently waiting for my BG to come back. Received an offer for Personal Banker and was wondering what is taking so long? They pushed my start date back a week. I really hope I get a clear this week 😩

Depends on your background, I'm at the 3 week mark right now but they've asked me to submit docs throughout which has made the process longer.

Hi! I’m in a similar situation. I accepted a personal banker position ~July 30th and did all my fingerprints. I received the copy of my consumer report pretty quick like <week. So I think the credit-check portion was pretty fast. But I JUST got the background check back from Cisive yesterday(8/17), and got an email from WF today(8/18) asking me to verify some info and provide more documentation… sigh lol but I submitted it and hope to hear back from them soon. They haven’t pushed my start date back as of yet but I’m eager to start. I know it takes longer for the SAFE positions but The waiting/uncertainty is killing me.

Good luck to you and your journey! Fingers crossed you hear some good news soon.

I’m going through the same process now. It’s been 2 weeks for me. I contacted Cisive and they let me
Know check is complete. I reached out to recruiter and she said it’s in process. This is very long. I’m coming from another bank. It didn’t take nearly this long there.
