The branded ATMs, which will feature the WaMu logo, transaction screens and printed receipts, will provide surcharge-free cash withdrawals, balance inquires and account transfers to all WaMu customers. The branded ATMs are owned and operated by Cardtronics.

"We're continuously striving to bring our customers value and make banking simpler," said Larry Andrews, SVP and division executive for WaMu's retail bank in Texas. "By teaming up with Cardtronics and CVS/pharmacy, we're able to further expand our ATM footprint, strengthen our brand presence and deliver additional convenience for our customers by giving them more access to their money."

WaMu has 247 branches in Texas. This expansion through CVS/pharmacy brings the total number of ATMs in Texas at which WaMu customers can make fee-free withdrawals to 670, including 282 in Houston, 273 in Dallas/Fort Worth, 63 in San Antonio and 52 in Austin.

"WaMu understands the power of bringing banking services closer to the consumer and the importance that convenience and ubiquity play in developing a stronger customer service offering," said Keith Myers, executive vice president of financial services at Cardtronics. "We are pleased to expand our strong relationship with WaMu and to help the bank strengthen its brand presence, improve its competitive position and enhance its value to current and prospective customers in the Texas market."
