On October 25 you’re accounts will officially stop being “WaMu” accounts and become Chase accounts (that is they’ll be migrated from WaMu to Chase systems). You’ll no longer be able to log into the WaMu web site and have to begin using the Chase web site (your WaMu ID will be migrated). You should have received a physical mailing (about 3 weeks ago) describing any changes to your specific accounts and you can learn more about it by going to [www.chase.com/wamu](http://www.chase.com/wamu). ---

That’s good to know, thanks. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chase-fucking-idiots/511900.md?page=1)
