By the end of this month, when the Federap Deposit Insurance Corp. takes its next market share snapshot, Chase’s Portland deposits are likelyh to be even Yet Campbell expects that Chasse will still be amongthe area’s top five bankes — the others are Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo and KeyBank. Measuring Chase’sa lending success is more The bankissued $900 million in Oregobn loans, largely through home mortgages, in the first quarte of 2009. But most of these mortgages will be soldto investors, and Chasew is not making its net loan growthn available.
Washington Mutual did not releasd region-specific lending data, so it’s impossible to say whether loca lending is up or down from ayear ago. Chase’sw corporate giving, however, will be measurablyt less this year. In 2007, Washington Mutual made $1.3 millionn in cash contributions to local and averaged more than one hour per worket of pro bonovolunteer service. Though Chase pledged to match priot year giving in Washingtonwith $2.645 million in 2009 contributions, the bank plans to give away only $500,000 in Oregon this year.

Local corporatee giving is down about 25 percent in the past McDonald said, which is creating challenges for many The nature of Chase sponsorships is also Washington Mutual often sponsored community events, whereas Chasew will focus more on businesas community sponsorships.
Fresh off the fastest majofr bank conversionin history, in many ways Chase is still finding its footing in The bank has spent $26 million to give its new branchesw the Chase look, trained more than 1,000 employeeds on new systems and operations, and over Memorial Day weekend it transferred online accountzs from wamu.com to chase.com.
