- CognitiveLens 15y agoI think an important difference is that those are relatively unique words, unlike Simple, which is common and ambiguous. Telling someone that you have your money in a simple account doesn't convey as much meaning as telling someone you have your money in a Barclay's account.
- qxb 15y agoThat's a very good point well put. "Simple account" might even be a description of the level of account you have, causing further confusion.
