Lately when I read the newspapers or listen to my local radio shows I hear a lot about the poor economic times south of the border, and how even here we will definitely be affected in some way or another because of the slowing United States economy.

I consider myself to be a thrifty person, not exactly the penny pincher type, but definitely some that is normally more interested in saving money than I am in spending it. I believe in utilising a good Savings Account in order to save money, and take advantage of good rates.

I had the opportunity to visit the website for WaMu Savings Accounts, and read about some of the benefits, and features that are associated with these types of accounts. For instance did you know that they offer free online banking to their customers along with free electronic statements? I read that and thought that is very cool, and convenient!

Another very cool feature of the Wamu Savings Account is that if you maintain a minimum monthly balance of $300.00 the company will wave all monthly service fees. This is one way that they encourage customers to save, and hey how cool is it to be rewarded by a financial institution for a change!

Cheers!
