So if banks are okay then you feel safe to have money there...When we heard banks are doing not well, we do not have safety feeling to keep money in banks.  Where we are going to keep them then?...

I've had wonderful experiences with this bank. They are very helpful, professional and have great rates for mortgages and CDs....

They drained my account of over 6,000 dollars. I paid EXTRA to even get an account with this bank. EXTRA for the fraud protection. EXTRA! I have contacted the bank daily for OVER A MONTH. Sent emails, called, went in. They kept saying things like, oh, we are investigating, oh, we will take care of it. NOTHING was ever done. I just got off the phone AGAIN with a fraud department, she yelled at  me, belittled me, accused me of lying to her, and downright treated me like dirt. Why am I paying for this? They refuse to do anything about this, even though they charged me for it. And, to top it off, they SOLD my account info to online companies, who, in turn, are also taking HUNDREDS of dollars a day out of my account. WHY? This is rediculous. Please, people, don't EVER, EVER, bank here, unless you want 90% of your check to go to fees and charges, and just be gone. I am sorry, but I don't work to support a FRAUDULENT ONLINE BANK!...

I signed up for the Free Checking and the Online Savings accounts.<br/><br/>What I love the most is that I never have to visit a WaMu branch since I can do most of my banking through their online banking website. Everything you can think of is there! From viewing statements, transferring funds between my WaMu and external bank accounts, contacting customer care via the built in messaging system, paying bills....I could go on and on. <br/><br/>The site is easy on the eyes as it has a nice, clean interface and it just draws you in and makes you want to stay there and click on all the different links.<br/><br/>This is one of the best internet banking system on the market and I would recommend it to ann and sundry....

You get free checks for life how great is that realisticly though I dont use checks very often so ready for the good part? you monthly payment is deducted from your account but placed in your savings so everything is FREE FREE FREE...

A female employee (I did not catch her name but if they WAMu check the notes on my account they will know who she is), I explained to her my situation (about the local branch not crediting my account completely and I'm in a deadline because of my rate lock expiring for my loan modification), she then told me to hold (again!) so she can get a supervisor. After about a minute, I heard a dial tone, so she supposedly "accidentally" hang up the phone on me. I could not call back because I had to be somewhere by 10:45 am but planned on calling back because I need to get this issue resolved like yesterday!...</p>...

We were told that in order for us to get a better rate, we have to pay down the existing loan amount to the conforming loan amount of $417,000. I then proceeded to do that so on Feb 13th, I went to a local branch in National City CA (#1470) to make the said deposit. The teller, Cynthya, asked me if I had already made a payment for February and since I knew that the monthly payment is automatically taken out of our account on the 1st of the month, I told the her Yes, I have made my payment for this month and I want the whole amount ($14,765.00) to be applied towards my principal so the principal balance should have been $416,999.62. I then explained to her what I intend to do (loan modification). She called a supervisor (I did not catch his name) to make sure that she is doing the deposit correctly and for IT to be applied wholely to the principal.......
