After a brief scan of the headlines, I couldn't find any news items about such a merger, but I might be wrong.

Without more specifics, it could be a statutory consolidation as well.\n\nBut it sounds as though he is refering to a horizontal merger.

Yes, real time. Wells Fargo charges me 4.99 if you have a high enough balance.

As an employer, Wells Fargo has come a long, long way.  I believe its heyday is near the end, but none-the-less, it is worth an investment.

Since Boston Scientific is the company doing the takeover, the cost basis for their shares shouldn't change. (Although you should check for any tax documentation that Boston sends out, in case there are any unusual quirks.)

When a company acquires another they get all the brands and trademarks as well.  Texaco was bought out by Chevron, for example, but they still run the Texaco havoline car in Nascar because it has brand loyaty.  Also, sometimes it takes a while to complete an acquistion and merge cultures and compaines.

Yes, from a different bank.

Well it was owned by Time Warner, which was at that time owned by Ted Turner. When Time Warner merged with AOL Turner left the company basically. Proably being the intelligent buisnessman he is he knew that the merger would be a big mistake. If that was the case he was proven right. Anyway when they merged to make up for the huge debt AOL was carrying in they started getting rid of anything that wasn't make alot of money. They got rid of the Goodwill Games because it wasn't making money. They sold the WCW because it wasn't making enough money. Anyway they sold it over to the WWF so alot of the wrestlers ended up there. Some wrestlers, like Sting, refuse to work with Vince McMahon JR. and weren't part of the merger. He is over in the TNA now.

Bank of America is a revolving door.  Citigroup is slightly less so.  Wachovia has a good culture since the merger.  Many regional banks have nice, growing cultures, too (i.e. BB&T).  The big Wall-Street firms (investment banks) are hard places to rise from the lower levels compared to the MBA's (Goldman, Morgan, Deutsche, etc.)

Hi,\n\nYes, I signed up with them too and followed thru with their instructions. On Wed 5/17 I opened up a NEW Chase acct with online access and on Thurs 5/18 added their Wells Fargo acct to be linked with mine. \n\nOn Friday, I got further instructions to activate this acct with the 2 deposits mentioned and to initiate a 10k transfer from their acct to my acct. I did this in the morning because this was supposed to be a SAME day transaction. I got the confirmation #'s and printed out all paperwork for my records. Friday evening, I decided to check the status of the transaction only to find out that my Chase online access was DEACTIVATED and was instructed to all Chase's regulation dept to speak with them.\n\nI have yet to speak with the Chase team to find out what needs to be done. I heard from another gal that said the same had happened to her but I haven't heard further word.\nI also emailed Dollartime on Friday evening, but so far have not heard anything. Tried calling too but all I get is a busy signal.\n\nI have filed an online complaint with www.fraud.org and they will forward the info submitted to the local authorities. These thugs need to be caught and proscecuted!\n\nAlso found out that Universal Escrow's identity WAS stolen and aka Dollartime was using their impressive list of business trade references to lure innocent folks (like us) into cashing BAD checks for them.

"To be sure, the trend toward international mergers carries with it some costs and risks.  One of them is, in fact, the danger of lost jobs as corporate titans eliminate duplicate departments.\n\nFurthermore, investors are at risk in a couple of ways. One, disclosure laws and accounting standards aren't always as rigorous in other countries as they are in the United States. That can make it tough for investors to assess whether it's a good deal.\n\nFinally, because most of the mergers are being financed by stock, investors have a stake in the combined entity's success. Yet, every merger is full of risks, and cross-cultural differences amplify the potential pitfalls, Wynne said.  For instance, Germans get far more vacation time than their American counterparts. American workforces are generally more diverse than those of other countries. And managers may face constant suspicion that one country is getting jobs and investment capital at the expense of the other."

As someone who works in the industry and a current Wells Fargo customer, I can say that Wells has much more services than Washington Mutual. Whether it's student loans, mortgages, secured credit cards, brokerage, insurance, grocery store branches or some other financial-related thing, if it's legal, Wells Fargo probably does it. \n\nI've heard WaMu is more strict in reversing overdraft fees than Wells Fargo too (ex. WF does something like $100 per 6 mos. but WaMu's new account only waives one fee per year -- $25). And purchases using your debit card are all going to process the same, for the most part, no matter what bank you use. I try to always keep at least $100 in my account.\n\nI like Wells Fargo because in California where I live, there's more ATM's than WaMu. And since I have my mortgage with them, they give me a checking account that waives fees at other ATM Since my credit isn't all that great, I started with a secured credit card, got upgraded to a normal one a year later and have been happy ever since. \n\nI'd compare what WaMu or US Bank gives you that Wells doesn't, then go to Wells and see what they can do. Don't forget about credit unions either. They usually have really good rates (for auto loans) but not that many locations. It depends on the area you live in.
