Ok is it just me or does anyone else think what this bank is doing is shady. Let me tell you a little story Here. As you well know if you live here in Cali, all Washington Mutual banks have now been "Branded" as "CHASE" banks and most people have been issued new ATM cards that say CHASE on them as well. Anyhow back to my story. So my wife and I go into our local WAMU/CHASE to deposit a check we have (fairly large). Mind you the check itself is from J.P. Morgan/Chase. So we are figuring, great its the banks own check their should be no hold on it..WRONG. The teller proceeds to tell us its a CHASE check but we have a WAMU account and there is a 20 day hold on the check. Then lets us know they are still WAMU until Late October and they cant verify CHASE funds immediately until then! Basically I just think this is stupid and deceiving in itself. If your not offically Chase yet and your new Chase Policies are not in place then why did you change your signs?? I know its for advertisement and all that good stuff but you don't see me put signs up for a new place if its not open yet. Customers would be disappointed. Just my two cents.
