Personal Finance

In September of 2006 I opened an account with NFCU on the recommendation of one of my financial advisors. Great company he told me, great place to keep some money. So as I was funds limited at the time, I put only $300 into a savings account, and elected to do all transactions electronically as a means of saving paper. As I only had a small amount in the account, I didn’t check it for a few months, then when I tried to access my account online, I realized I’d forgotten my password and I managed to lock up the account due to failed logon attempts. Time went by, I’d get an email saying a new account statement was ready to view electronically, but the account was locked and I just didn’t bother to call to get it unlocked. So part of this was my fault.

My mother developed Alzheimer’s disease a few years ago. Her husband (my step-father) had to place her in an Alzheimer’s center for her safety. When he passed away I was added to her Wamu account as conservator. When she passed away, our attorney sent court papers naming me as executor. My wife and I went into Wamu and tried to change the account to executor. We thought it would be simple because we had the court papers and changing from conservator to executor, must be a very common event.

Twelve years ago I opened up my first “grown up” checking account at a Washington Mutual branch near the university I was about to begin attending. At the time, Washington Mutual was mostly a local bank. It had yet to become the object of nationwide detest that it is now. My experience with Washington Mutual has been so pleasant that in those twelve years I have had several types of accounts with WAMU: checking, savings, business checking, certificate of deposit, auto loan and home equity lines of credit, all with satisfying results.
