A First Look at BankSimple. This was posted back in September but I just got a chance to really watch it. Beyond the sexy interface the message is tremendous. “We shouldn’t be doing math in front of the computer. The computer ought to be doing math for us.” That’s the kind of bank I’d like to have.

Props to you, Bank of America, for freezing my card after an $18 purchase to support independent software developers. BankSimple can’t come soon enough.

Recipe for banking fail: Require users to enter an authorization code when logging in from an unfamiliar computer. Deliver the authorization code via email. Reject the authorization code sent by your bank’s system because it does not contain any letters.

I’m now in a banking ghetto and can’t log in to my Chase account anymore because their web form doesn’t trust their email script. Nice. When does BankSimple launch again?
