10/17 What does that Washingtom Mutual ATM policy mean? Does it mean
that you can have a BofA ATM card and use a WM ATM free of charge
or does it mean that WM customers can use other bank's ATMs free
of charge?
\_ It means that if you have a BofA ATM card, you can use a WM ATM
without being charged by WM. That said, I believe that BofA may
hit you with a $1.50 charge for using a non-BofA ATM, but I'm
not certain of this.
\_ I thought I heard on the radio ad. at the end that if you
are not a WM customer, you may be charged a fee.
\_ Yes, by your *own* bank or credit union. --dim
\_ Nothing. It means Nothing. Washington Mutual is a POS company
that has no respect for its customers or its employees. It took
a decent local bank like Great Western (I was a customer of thiers
for 12 yrs) and turned it into one of the worst banks in the
world. - now with bofa
\_ HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!! So, yes, you have proven you have great
'taste' in banks by moving to BofA, so well known for their
top notch customer dis-service.
\_ washington mutual is still a piece o shit though...
i mean, there will be a big ass line and only
one teller up processing it. what's up with that?!
\_ Gosh, and all these people are *forced* to _choose_
WM and _can't_ go anywhere else? Maybe it's worth
it to wait in line to get real service?
\_ because they actually offer low-cost checking
and dont force everyone to the ATM. ANd that
they actually offer "service". WAMU is NOT THAT
BAD compared to someplace like BofA, my god!
WHen i'm there they have almost all teller
windows open, plus two in the express line.
\_ BofA is much better in terms of teller
access, longer hours, more locations,
no ATM fees, friendlier customer services,
better online banking, integrated credit
card and checking account information and
quicker error correction. WM took months to
sort out errors, along with being unfriendly
to customers and employees. I banked at the
same branch (GW) for 8 years, and most of the
my companies credit union for ATM/cash/car loan. Satisfied
tellers loved GW and left within 6 mo. of the
buyout because WM treated them like shit. I
went to BofA because most of the people I
knew at my GW branch went to the local BofA
branch.
\_ in the two years that I've had my mortgage with WM, I've had to
call them three times in regards to various accounting errors.
I've done my banking (checking/savings) with Wells Fargo for
the past 7 years and never had a problem. My coworker formerly
with Home Savings Bank which was bought out by WM walked into
WM one day and was told she did not have an account with them.
She had to wait around for over an hour before they found her
account. I have zero trust in WM. Unfortunately, I also have
a 30 year mortgage with them.
\_ I used to. I then changed it to wells fargo mortgage when the
rates were lower.
\_ These days I use Net@Bank for most of my banking needs, and
my company's credit union for ATM/cash/car loan. Satisfied
with the arrangement so far. BofA sucks from what I remember.
I retain a low limit BofA credit card for shady online
purchases. |
