The Washington National Building Loan and Investment Association filed articles of incorporation on September 1889, to offer its stockholders a safe and profitable vehicle for investing and lending. Washington Mutual was founded in 1911 and expanded its assets during the first World War, thus escaping the impact of the recession that followed. The company emerged from the war years with a reputation as the strongest savings institution in Washington.

Washington Mutual, Inc. is now established as one of the nation's leading financial services companies and continues to serve consumers and small to mid-sized businesses through the various subsidiaries in the Washington Mutual family of companies. Their business strategy-to provide a higher level of personalized customer service than our competitors-has helped to make the institution one of the fastest-growing financial services companies in the country.

WaMu, as the institution is now knows, offer popular products such as the WaMu Free Checking™. This checking account gives customers many free features and no monthly fees!
