WaMu

We all want to save money, but with the economy's current situation, it has become a top priority for everyone. My current bank charges $7.00/month whenever my account dips below the minimum, but WaMu only charges $4.00 - and while that may not seem like a lot, if you are not careful, it can catch you. In fact, I had to pay a $25 fee a few months back specifically because I did not realize my account had gotten so far down! When that $7.00 service charge came (it was about a week earlier than usual - surprise, surprise!), my account went negative...

At the time, my bank did not have reliable Internet access and since it keeps bizarre hours, I never knew how much they said I had as opposed to how much my register showed. That is never a problem with WaMu - not to mention that they provide free electronic statements, along with free online banking!

And they waive the monthly fee if you open a Savings Account along with a new checking account, or link your new savings account to an existing WaMu checking account! With all of their great features, as well as their fantastic service, WaMu is the perfect place to bank - especially for those of us who live online!
