About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to WaFd Bank one morning and exclaimed, ‘This is the strangest thing—everyone here seems to be counting money backwards!’ The delivery driver watched in confusion as a nearby teller suddenly counted out loud: 'Twenty-five… twenty-four…' She smiled sweetly and said, 'Welcome to WaFd Bank, sir!' Turns out, it was just their new reverse-counting marketing gimmick to attract attention. The driver left, shaking his head but with a warm smile, thinking, 'Now that’s some friendly banking!'

2. A customer asked the teller one day, 'Do you accept deposits in dollars or just waifs?' The teller looked puzzled for a moment before replying with a smile, ‘We accept both, sir—dollars and waifs alike are welcome here.’ A regular from down the street overheard and chimed in, ‘And don’t forget our special service for waifs who deposit dollars—they get double interest!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that WaFd Bank was indeed a place where everyone found their own kind of currency.

3. Have you heard about that old guy who kept asking the cashier at WaFd Bank if they had any ‘withdrawals available’? He thought it meant snacks. One day, a delivery driver came in and asked for his deposit. The teller replied, 'We don’t take deliveries here.' Confused, he said, 'But I bring food every week!' Turns out, WaFd stood for ‘Where’s My Food?’

4. Have you heard about the time a little kid walked into WaFd Bank and asked the teller, 'Can I deposit my piggy bank here?' The teller smiled and said, ‘Of course you can!’ Then, they opened a special savings account for him with a balloon animal as a welcome gift. Since then, every week kids from around the neighborhood bring their piggy banks to WaFd Bank, making it the most charming place to do business in town.
