Now that I'm getting a better feel of what BankSimple is about, I don't think it's that revolutionary an idea. I'm not even sure I will use it. Most of what they showed, and more can be accomplished using Mint. And, Mint offers more choice by being an aggregator.

- shadowfiend 15y agoThen again, BankSimple's only purpose is great service. They delegate the actual money to a partner bank. So... Yeah. It doesn't really get much better than that in terms of motivation.
- throwaway6326 15y agoAm I wrong in thinking that BankSimple outsourced phone/email support to their partner banks? Because as far as I can tell, BankSimple has no interest in service at all. They're just a shiny tech company.
- shadowfiend 15y agoAs far as I know, yes, you are, in fact, completely wrong. The only thing partner banks handle is the actual money. You never talk to them. https://banksimple.com/faq/#whatthedealis https://banksimple.com/faq/#whatthedealis
