How do you do your banking? Are you like most persons who walk into a bank to do transactions like transferring money between their accounts or just to check their account balance? I know that a lot of persons are like that and they wish that it could be much easier to do simple transactions without having to physically go to the bank. To make banking more convenient for their customers, many banks have implemented online banking which allows them to perform transactions like checking their account balance, transferring money between their accounts, paying utility bills and credit card bills, and much more. Some of these banks have taken it a step further by offering persons the opportunity to open a savings account online.

WAMU is one such bank. However, the ability to open a savings account online is not available in every area as yet, so they allow potential customers to enter their zip code in a box on the WAMU website to see if it is available where they are. Or, persons can use the “Find a branch near you” link to see which branch is located near where they live. Persons who open their online savings account with WaMu Free Checking™ will receive the Relationship Interest Rate/APY. All of WAMU‘s online savings accounts come with free bank checks and money orders. With this much incentive, you can clearly see that it makes sense to open an online savings account with WAMU.
