WaFd is our longtime nickname and an abbreviation of Washington Federal for over a century. WaFd Bank also aligns with our NASDAQ ticker symbol—WAFD. We pronounce it “Wah-Fed”. For more information visit our About Us page.

Washington Federal did modify the name, to WaFd Bank. We are still the same bank you trust. We launched the simplified name because the previous title did not emphasize that we are a bank. Our solution? Put the word “bank” in our name - WaFd Bank.
