It's all about scale.
- revelation 10y agoDo things that don't scale! .. like shipping paper bank statements..
- vijayp 10y agoSeems to me like shipping paper bank statements scales quite well -- linearly in fact!
- walrus01 10y agoIt'll scale just fine until the bank statement needs a truck-level loading dock, pallet and forklift.
- ylhert 10y agoCan't wait to do a follow up post from the back of the box truck :D
- vacri 10y agoObviously - something needs to weigh the box so that they can apply correct postage...
- guyzero 10y agoBy far the best response but in case my statement wasn't clear (for anyone that actually cares) the issue is that an online billing system costs roughly the same amount whether you're a tiny local bank or Citibank so even though it's "Silicon Valley" bank it's far too expensive for them to build out sophisticated systems. You need to be huge to have these fancy features to amortize their cost across more users.
