By the time I finally got a Simple/BankSimple invite, the online features and offerings from my local/regional bank (Frost, for those of you in TX) matched "close enough" to what Simple was offering at the time that there wasn't any advantage to moving everything over and leaving a bank I've been with for 18 years. Sure, the UI's not as pretty, but that's not everything.
I still have the account, and like my USAA one, transfer money into it every month as a secondary emergency fund in case something happens with my Frost account and I get locked out over a weekend.
- ixmatus 13y agoFrost's UI/UX is no where near Simple's, IMHO. My girlfriend was using Frost for a long time, saw me using Simple, and wanted to switch over immediately - super happy since. Since then every mobile banking app I've had to use (ATFCU, Chase, Citi, and BofA) is ridiculous. Bad design, limited functionality, no concept of UX (BofA's mobile app at least has it together but their webapp is stupid).
- mrbill 13y agoI fully agree that Frost's UI/UX is nowhere near Simple's, but it lets me do what I need to do online, and I can deposit checks via my Android phone now. Good enough.
