Wells Fargo & Co. plans to launch two new accounts intended to further expand access to mainstream banking services by early 2021, including a checkless account that will limit spending to the amount available in the account and won't have overdrafts or insufficient funds fees.

The checkless account is designed to meet Cities for Financial Empowerment Fund standards for "safe and appropriate financial products that can help people enter or re-enter the mainstream financial system," Wells Fargo said.

The other account will include checks, and will cap overdraft or insufficient funds fees at one per month.
