> It's a bank startup which doesn't have physical locations There's got to be more to it than that, right? There are lots of internet-only banks. I use Ally. http://www.gobankingrates.com/banking/10-online-banks-2015/
Ally's interest rates are tempting, but the fact that it's just GMAC with some new makeup is very off putting.

It's a bank that only lives on the internet. I am actually surprisingly happy with them as my only bank.
Having been a customer of Charles Schwab for several years at this point, I've never seen the appeal of Simple. I get better interest rates, fantastic customer service, unlimited ATM rebates and a host of brokerage services, all for free.

Fellow Schwab customer here. Unlimited ATM rebates has been great. I was surprised at bow nice it felt to whip out my Schwab card next to the scary little free-standing ATM machine at the cash-only shop with some ridiculous $4.00 ATM fee. Felt like a cheat code.

Where are you getting 5% cash back? Highest I've seen is Chase Sapphire with their points which are worth 2-3%. Highest straight cash back I've seen is Citi DoubleCash at 2%.
Chase Freedom has 5% cash back on certain categories that change throughout the year.

A bit off topic but is anyone annoyed with how cards with RF are being replaced with a chip card? I don't know why card issuers are doing that. Mobile devices increasingly have NFC for contactless payment, so why would the card issuers roll that back in favor of chip only?
One of my favorite things about the Wallet Card was the design. Having a clean front that always surprised people that haven't seen one before. I'd always get comments on it and asked if I worked at Google haha RIP YetAnotherGoogleService
It was the first time I saw one like this, but not the last. Citi has a flavor of card designed like this now, only thing on the front is the EMV chip and the logo.
This is the first of Google's product cancellations that will affect me personally. My wife and I have been using Google Wallet cards for budgeting - we transfer our spending money to the cards each week to help track our spending. Honestly there's no reason Google Wallet was superior for this - I expect Simple will solve our problems better anyway. Should have seen this coming when they split it off of Android Pay.
