That's cool. Business accounts aswell? CU's seem much more developed in the US. I think if you were to look at the three things I mentioned - online, non profit and open source, non profit is the one I think is least differentiable if that makes any sense. I think an online open source bank is the real innovative part, not the non profit part.
- davidw 13y agoYes, my business account as well. I love open source software, but from a bank...I just want them to give me a good deal and be helpful.
- niallpaterson 13y agointeresting. Why would you be against an open source bank? Would you agree that banks aren't exactly cutting edge? If so, wouldn't it be better if they were? (More features, easier experience)? Thanks :)
- erichurkman 13y agoMost businesses are probably running the majority of their banking through banking software -- so long as the bank integrates with their package of choice (Peachtree, etc), most won't care beyond basic friendly business banking practices. Banks are not cutting edge in general, at least not in the US. If you look at other markets, like Europe, they adopted a lot of technology must faster than US banks: two-factor auth tokens, sending money via SMS, for example.
