For years, I have relied on my payroll savings account to keep everything that I “save”. Five years worth of salaries, bonuses and even PayPal money went directly there. Now that I am no longer working, I’m thinking about giving it up, converting it into a personal savings account or just closing it and open a new one. The only thing that is keeping me from getting a new one is the online banking feature I have from my current bank. I really rely online to get my bills paid on time – since I really hate lining up at the bank. However, I also want a passbook to keep track of everything, which my bank doesnt support. Savings Accounts at WaMu are flexible and Im keen on opening a new one for myself. For example, they have online banking savings account and a statement savings account, which I can all apply online. Their online banking feature has a safety guarantee feature. I can save and download up to 13 months of my transaction history and even 7 years worth of statements!!! Their online bill payment service comes free as well. I want to be able to manage our finances and still be able to save. I think I would be inquiring about WaMu services in our area soon.
