I, like you, have been pretty dissatisfied with online banking as a whole, both from an user experience as well as technological limitations. I believe that in 2011 we’ll see a shift (finally) with BankSimple.net!
From one of the software engineers that created Twitter, Alex Payne, this new re-invented service might just make banking awesome:
Imagine, for a moment, a bank that doesn’t suck.
A bank that doesn’t gouge you with fees.
A bank that doesn’t treat you like crap.
A bank that cares about design, but gets out of your way.
A bank that puts your money to work automatically.
A bank that’s building a platform for the future of personal finance.I’ve imagined that bank, usually while on hold with my current bank after they’ve screwed something up. I want to be a customer of that bank. More than that, I want to make it happen.
So, I am.
I’m pretty pumped with the idea of it all. Go and read the vision of the project and get excited – this is the web service I’m looking forward to in 2011!

This sound great! I’ve already switched my banking completely online. The only thing they are missing is depositing checks by photo. Mailing a check is a bit inconvenient, but the interest rate more than makes up for that.

This looks pretty sweet, just signed up for an invite.
