I had Chase when I lived in Chicago and when I moved out to SF there weren't any branches so I got Wamu. Sad to see Wamu go. I wonder what will happen to my awesome savings account interest rates.

The branches are being acquired by Chase. Perhaps the interest rates may be similar to what Chase offers.

In Chicago, WaMu had much better business rates than Chase. I used Chase for some personal accounts because of ATMs, but WaMu for several business accounts.

Ouch, I hope not. Regular savings accounts are getting 0.10% - 1.95% depending on the type of account and balance. Compare to Wamu's 4% APY

That's because Chase is not desperate for cash.
