WaMu Customers, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Is Your New Regulator
As an aside, WaMu's charter was under the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Chase's bank regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

When asked if WaMu customers were opening up Chase accounts as backups, he said, "Most people just switch."
