I stopped by the downtown Seattle location to make a simple withdrawal. Kendall helped me and not only was he very friendly, he said my name correctly! 😂 I don’t expect anyone to say my name correctly, and most people just avoid it all together. But he made a simple transaction a great experience.

TERRIBLE bank and Worse customer service ever. I lost my card and it took them about a month to get me a new card. The bank teller lady have the the worst attitude when I want to ask her about my card. I didn't have access to my own money for about a month. When I requested to speak to the manager the close my account. DO NOT BANK WITH THEM IF YOU WANT YOUR MONEY.

I love my local WaFd bank. I would give 5 stars but wish my statements came in the mail with only the last 4 acct. digits on them vs. ALL of my info there. Sometimes my mail gets in someone else's box. I worry about someone else getting one of my statements and then having ALL of my personal info & acct #. I prefer statements by mail vs. email. Could the main headquarters please change the statements so only the last 4 acct. #'s show on all of our mailed and emailed statements? Thank you!
