WaMu Online Banking Review

It’s time to review Washington Mutual online banking for you here at Savings Accounts 411. With the changeover to Chase Bank, much of WaMu Online has changed and will continue to change, so we’ll bring you the information as it happens.

Most of the expected technologies that customers have come to rely on for WaMu Online banking are still there: account balances, histories, voided checks, and so forth. Transfers between WaMu accounts and Chase accounts (if both exist) are also possible at WaMu Online.

Washington Mutual online banking options that are now at Chase Bank are clearly labeled and transfer you to the Chase website when you’re using them. This can get confusing, but if you’re paying attention, you’ll see the warnings and know what’s going on.

Some users around the Web are reporting problems with opening new WaMu Online savings accounts now with the changeover. Especially those who use a credit fraud blocking service like LifeLock. This is mainly a security issue and isn’t happening with Chase accounts, only with WaMu Online banking signups. It will probably be resolved when the total changeover to Chase finishes this year.

The WaMu Online website hasn’t changed much in the last year or so and mostly services have been being slowly removed and linked over to the like-service at Chase Bank. Current WaMu Online banking accounts in areas that have all branches converted to Chase will automatically redirect to Chase Bank.

Overall, the transition to the new bank name and system is taking time and is being done slowly to avoid too much shakeup with WaMu customers.
