Wamu experience ?

[samaci 0]

Never had a problem with WAMU... They let me open an account, before i became a PR, and all I had was my Canadian ID... Once i got my SSN, I just went into a branch and they added it to my info. No problems as of yet.

I have my bank account with my company's credit union, but when my husband moved here from England he came here with never having owned a credit card and purchasing everything with cash... thus, no credit history at all.

He researched banks online and decided to join WAMU. We opened his account online and just went in to finalize it by giving his signature and making a deposit. They are great at customer service and no fees! We got his first credit card via a secured credit card with them and within a couple of months, he was getting offers with other credit card companies. So that did the trick! We have had no complaints with WAMU at all.

We have our bank accounts and credit card over WaMu. The only problem we had so far was getting me on my husbands accounts. At this point I didn't have my Greencard or Driver license so the man told us he can not put me on the account because he needs 2 ID's. He accepted my passport but not my German driver license. So we spoke to the manager at the bank and she helped us to get my name on the account. They used my visa as the second ID. Other than that we really like WaMu and we are sad that we have to change banks. (No WAMU close to us anymore.)

WAMU is wonderful. They bend over backwards to please. They even reimbursed my overdraft fee when I went over by a smidge. Can't get that with BOK! They even helped me when somehow someone got money out of my account through an ATT payment I never made. I know use their online bill pay service since that incident with no problems. One of the best banks I've ever delt with.

the only thing i m a little sad is that they do not seam to offer any personnal loan or auto loan.... but well.... i guess i can deal fro that with others

I am really happy with the opinion of everybody and would like to hear specifically with the bad exepriences (even if most probably i will open my account there)

I got my fiancee a WAMU ATM MasterCard with her sending me a copy of her passport. She uses it in PH to withdraw money. Only 1% foreign transaction fee. WAY better than Western Union or Xoom!

My two cents

Hmm.... finally i did open a wamu account....

And i do have to complain about a few things...

My biggest one is not beeing able to deposit a check in euros (they don't do currency in anything other than US/Can)

I got loads of issues registering in their system.... (perhaps because my last name have a space on it or something like that)

Same thing to activate my ATM card

I am not impressed...

(But i still think BoFA is still worst at least about customer service)

I signed up with WaMu and it was all fine - they set me up with a non-resident checking account and I opened a joint savings account with Jeremy. I couldn't activate my card online without a SSN but as soon as I got my SSC through the mail, we headed back to WaMu and they changed it for me and activated my card - I just had to show them the ID I used to open the account and my SSC

But yes - BofA are dire - Jeremy had ten overdraft charges totalling over $300 when he never even went overdrawn - this was shown on his records and on the bank's records. He was there for two hours trying to sort it out and no-one helped him so he closed his account and walked out - we are taking it further
