The Details
Once you've signed up for mobile banking, you can keep on top of your finances, when you want and where you want, right from your mobile phone. You choose how you want to use it. You can use mobile text messaging or the mobile Web… or both!
What you get with each option:
- With mobile text messaging, you can review account balances and transaction history plus look for WaMu stores and ATMs—all without your computer!
- With mobile Web, you can do everything you can with mobile text messaging, plus transfer funds between your WaMu accounts—all from your mobile phone!
What you need to do each one:
- Mobile text messaging requires you to have a mobile phone that can send and receive text messages.
- Mobile Web requires you to have a mobile phone that also supports Internet browsing.
- You must be enrolled in WaMu online banking. This is how we recognize you.
- Finally, you'll need at least one eligible account. Eligible accounts include most checking and savings accounts.
