by spongebob_man1 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 07 '04
Pros: Excellent Customer Service, Truly Free Checking, No Charge ATMs For Everyone

Good for free checking, Go elsewhere for any loan.

by sheturbo , Feb 14 '03
Pros: Free checking, friendly tellers
Cons: Excruciatingly tough to get any kind of loan unless you have glowing, sparkling credit.
I have been banking with WAMU for eight years. WAMU has been great for free checking, and has friendly tellers. The hours of their drive-up window is slightly inconvenient if you work odd hours. Their web site isn't too bad, it is fairly easy to...

Nice branches - Incredibly slow processing

by lotherius , Sep 08 '06
Pros: Free checking, clean branches
Cons: Excruciatingly slow to update available/ledger balance online.

Bait and Switch mortgage rate!! Stay Away!

by deekel73 , May 02 '08
Pros: We haven't had a problem yet with our checking accounts
Cons: The mortgage department isn't the least bit concerned with acquiring and keeping good customers.
We have excellent credit scores (over 800) no debt, and 20% to put down on our mortgage. We were promised a 5.625% rate. The person (I really mean rude and ignorant idiot) in the home loan center has not called us once since we were pre-approved. She ...
