Warning: The site has some funky scrolling, but if you keep going there is more information that eventually shows up.

This seems like a promising alternative to Simple, which shut down a few months ago

I think we really have to take a step back away from this annoying scrolling / auto-moving element behavior for product info pages. I had a moment where my mouse was chasing a moving 'Loans' tile.

Yeah, another app-only bank. Or at least that what it seems. The desktop site in unreadable. Giant fonts.

So I'll assume they're like the rest - shitty / no customer support outsourced to god who knows, and they'll change "shifts" every 10 minutes.

No thank you, I'll stay with the good old, dinosaur banks.

Designers have gotten really carried away. This stuff looks nice when you click through it in Figma, because it's a slideshow. But when it's interactive it's a pain in the butt.

If you move through the page really slowly it sort of works, but real people in the real world scroll fast to scan the content of the page, and this page is a disaster to scan.

Yeah, I don't trust these startups handling my money. Not only that, but the bank that they have doing back-end services for them, Sutton Bank, seems like a tiny local bank. Guaranteed their own back-end services aren't in-house.

Just no all around to this product.

I guess at some point, starting a business will be equivalent to downloading the square business app.

I use Citibank for my business, I hear you, you can always go into a branch or pick up the phone to speak to a person, but their online banking system is pretty terrible and outdated by about 20 years which is why I often have to pick up the phone. I wish we could have the best of both worlds.
