Simple had some good ideas, but I eventually moved on to more "grown up" banking solutions. What caused me to leave was the inability to write paper checks, which I only needed once or twice a year but is a useful and reasonable-to-expect feature in a "checking" account. Going to a web form and requesting they mail a check on my behalf wasn't an adequate replacement for my needs... scenarios like money in a Christmas card, security deposit on a desirable apartment that a landlord isn't going to hold for me without that deposit, etc.
- brink 6y agoFunny how I see people complaining about a lack of checkbooks, and people complaining about a lack of mailing checks features in the same thread. Seems like no matter what you do, people will be there to complain about it. But they started mailing out checkbooks about 2 years ago. I have one sitting in my desk.
