“WAMU blows BofA away. BofA sucks, always has in my opinion. Depressing branches.
WAMU has Long hours, great service, online banking, free checks, no monthly service fees, free outgoing wires, unlimited phone access…etc.. even a free overdraft once a year. (OK, OK crappy interest rates on deposits)
Best thing to do is keep liquid money in online FDIC insured bank account that pays over 5%, and transfer to WAMU
one day before you need it in there.
It’s been working like a charm.”
I love WAMU too.. they have a decent on-line interface with good features. As HLS mentions, good to go on-line with savings for a better rate of return. I suggest ING direct (orange savings acct.) that pays 4.5% and has a good auto draft from your WAMU checking acct.
