Fuck wamu, I would avoid them. Go with Citibank or BAC. I was with Wamu and they would give me the most bullshit excuses to hold my checks. Put two week holds on them and said they couldn't call the bank to verify the check. Then another time I made a cashier check to myself from my Citibank account and they said they had to hold it because their is a lot of fraud with cashiers checks. I'm like it's my check from literally across the street and you STILL CAN'T CALL? Of course they said no banks do that which is BULL.
But what really pissed me off was when I finally closed my account I wanted a cashiers check and so what do they do they close my account then say they have to charge me $30 for a cashiers check because I no longer have an account with them. I said wtf I just had an account with you guys 30 seconds ago why couldn't you give me the check first then close it. She said it was because I said I wanted to close my account and there was no way they could waive the charge, so I said then I would be more than happy to open an account up again, get my cashiers check, then close the account. Then all of a sudden she suddenly had the authority to waive the fee just to get me out of the bank. I'm so tempted to go back now and just laugh at all of them...o wait they probably don't work there anymore!
Only plus side with Wamu is if you have a CC with them you get free FICO score every month.
