Wells Fargo will reimburse for fees after ATM outage

Wells Fargo said Tuesday that customers who paid fees to use out-of-network ATMs during an outage a day earlier will be reimbursed.

Wells Fargo spokeswoman Peggy Gunn said the bank's ATMs are back in operation after the network was down "for a few hours" on Monday. Wells Fargo has about 12,000 ATMs nationwide.

In a statement, the bank apologized to customers.

"We intend to reimburse customers who may have been impacted. This includes reimbursement of any fee Wells Fargo/Wachovia or another bank may have assessed for using an out-of-network machine," the statement read.

Wells Fargo declined to release any information about what caused the issue, saying it is proprietary.
