In terms of innovation, Washington Mutual bested such venerable organizations as Starbucks, Procter & Gamble, Herman Miller, UPS, and Nike. Nationally and internationally recognized for transforming retail banking, the company also recently received awards from the Lafferty Group, U. S. Banker and the Retail Industry Leader's Association.
