24 More Branches Make Chase Even More Convenient in Colorado
- Former WaMu locations expand Chase network to 113 branches and 357 ATMs
- Bank will open 11 more branches by end of next year
Denver, November 2, 2009 - Chase announced today that it has successfully converted and rebranded 24 former Washington Mutual bank branches in Colorado, creating a network of 113 Chase branches in 35 cities and towns for consumers and businesses.
Chase now has 84 branches in Metro Denver, 15 in El Paso County and 14 in the northern part of the state - as well as 357 ATMs statewide, the most in Colorado.
"Both Chase and former WaMu customers now have more locations to do their banking," said Steve Shaffer, head of retail banking for Chase in Colorado. "They can now take advantage of our expanded set of products and services to achieve their financial goals."
Chase has invested $9 million in refurbishing and rebranding the former WaMu branches in Colorado. Chase is using high efficiency HVAC and lighting systems, low irrigation plant landscaping, solar reflectance, recycled materials in walls, floors and ceilings, and Energy Star appliances.
Over the last five years, Chase has significantly expanded its Colorado presence, growing from less than 60 branches across the state in 2004.
"We know that convenience is an important part of earning customer business," Shaffer said.

Parent company JPMorgan Chase acquired Washington Mutual's banking operations in September 2008, quickly providing WaMu customers with the security and peace of mind of a $2 trillion financial services company. Since then, about 1,800 former WaMu branches across the country have converted to the Chase brand and computer system, allowing customers to conduct their business at more than 5,100 Chase branches in 23 states.
