You would think that the buffons that run WaMu would learn from Home Saving greed and irresponsible lending, but they did the same thing, unbeliveable. Well, maybe not. I wonder if the ATM fees will go up when the bank changes hands? I remember when WaMu took over Home Savings, because they had bad loans

WaMu or JP Morgan or any other bank isn't going to text, email, or phone anyone to ask them to update their account. Fraz:

Both looked up at once..."my profile didn't change, the bank did why do I have to do all that crap?"

WaMu, based in Washington state, now abdicates its legacy to the east coast-based JPMorgan Chase. Another example of east coast hegemonic colonialism trying to homogenize America.

I switched to Charles Schwab. Online banking, interest checking (3% right now, no minimum) and they fully refund ALL ATM fees. I don't need to worry about if there's an ATM for me nearby - they're all for me. I haven't used my WaMu account in over a year. I used to bank with WaMu – but there’s much better options out there.

That was a big selling point for me. But seriously, I've been really happy with WaMu since I moved here two years ago. There's a branch right next door to my office, and I also had the experience that the employees are always pretty friendly and helpful. They haven't once given me a sandwich, but I'm not giving up on them yet. I wonder if they’ll still have commercials with a bunch of naked old white guys standing around together.
