WaMu getting more creative with surcharges

I’m sure this is an effort to make up for frozen money not earning anything right now.

A friend said Washington Mutual has a new policy, and a price-gouging one.

It is starting a $5 surcharge if the person to whom you write the check does not cash or deposit it at your bank. Not to you, to the "presenter" of the check.

Geez o pete. Well, that will at least puff the bottom line for WaMu's eventual buyer, JPMorgan Chase.
