I was able to open a Chase account by calling a branch in Dallas. The banker took down all my information and I had to fax over a copy of my DL and another form of ID. I received an overnight package to sign the signature card. The only bad thing is that you will have to go to a branch to deposit b/c WAMU branches cannot take deposits, but that is suppose to change soon. I still may have the banker's info if anyone needs it.
