Answer 1 :
Im gonna have to say WaMu. I have bank of america right now and im switching to WaMu or someone else because bank of america will charge you these stupid service fees randomly. Dont go with them!
Answer 2 :
I have both and I prefer Washington Mutual. Their interest rates are better and they offer free checking. Sign up online for the best savings rates.
Answer 3 :
I have Washington mutual, however, there are many problems when it comes to using a commercial bank. Customer service is never really that great and they like to tack on alot of extra fees here and there. In addition, the interest rate on savings' accounts are typically lower than that of a credit union. I like Washington Mutual better than Bank of America, but, there are more BA around the country... so if you go out of town, you can have access to a bank easier. If you have the ability to join a credit union, like Fairwinds or something, I'd say do that. But you usually have to work at a particular job to get to join a credit union,
Answer 4 :
I'd say WaMu... They seem to have to cutest tellers in my area.
Answer 5 :
I've banked at both but prefer WaMu. Their customer service is superior and they don't levy as many junk fees.
