I dumped WaMU and have spurned the big banks since. You can't trust them. Contracts are meqaningless to to them and their lawyers. Be smart, look into credit unions. A plus, they actually lend money in your community. i switched to a local credit union and got a much better array of services and interest rates. I dumped WaMU and have spurned the big banks since.

In my opinion they are all bad banks, JPM in my experience of dozens, is by far the worst. I voluntarily told them as much too at closing. On that note, I have been a long time customer and fan of HSBCdirect. currently their high yield savings is 1.35% and before this recession still had top marks among banks. Their online payment account (checking) with debit, pays .85% (still a yield). Oh and when I was going abroad I told them I was opening a Capital One MMA who wouldn't charge foreign fee's like their credit card...HSBC matched COne and gave me 6 cash withdrawals a month no penalty. Just my opinion guys. All I can say is I have taken Bank Promotions from all of the above and then closed my accounts.
