WaFd Bank

There are two easy ways to deposit a check on evenings and weekends. Every WaFd Bank branch has a smart ATM that allows you to deposit checks (and cash) without using an envelope. And you’ll see images of your deposit check right on your receipt. You can also deposit a check using your smartphone. With Mobile Photo Deposit, use the WaFd Bank mobile banking app to snap a photo of the front and back of your check. Just follow the on-screen instructions. Reminder: A hold applies to items deposited via the ATM or mobile photo deposit until we can verify the validity of the items deposited. If you’d like to request that the hold be removed earlier than normal, please call our Client Care Center at 1-800-324-9375.

WaFd is our longtime nickname and an abbreviation of Washington Federal for over a century. WaFd Bank also aligns with our NASDAQ ticker symbol—WAFD. We pronounce it “Wah-Fed”. For more information visit our About Us page.

Signing up is easy: If you haven’t already, you must sign up for consumer online or mobile banking. Next, please call 800-324-9375 so that we can set up your voice activated banking profile --- you’ll then be guided to record your voice, so that our service can authenticate you going forward.
