Crapola....I forgot to mention this... I went to a Chase Bank in my area (Columbus,Ohio) for some cash and noticed that the format was different. REALLY different!!!! I have never been to a WAMU, but based on photos, this was the WaMu business model. Several individual kiosks with no separation between banker and client. Just a table top with some drawers. We have no WaMu Banks here in Columbus (to my knowledge) but this new Chase bank certainly looks like them. Chase is reinventing themselves using a model that has worked for another company....WAMU! Wow!
This is a new building that opened up recently (12-24 Months). I see (now) that there ARE patents as referenced by Texan (thanks). This is HUGE imo and may have been the thing that put WaMu in the JPM crosshairs. WOW! Did WMI come after JPM with a warning about not using the Occasio Model?
Non-Traditional indeed Texan77.
