As a Simple user (the invites DO eventually arrive), I'm excited to see the goals feature and it will definitely help me make better financial decisions and sock money away rather than spend it - that "safe to spend" meter becomes the new normal and you adjust your life accordingly. It's amazing how "rich" or "poor" you feel based on that number and how it dictates spending decisions day to day.<p>Can't wait until joint accounts because that will enable a real shift of my finances to Simple so I can start really hitting my goals.<p>Keep up the good work!
I got in a while back, transferred some money in, then realized that it's no better than my credit union (actually worse, in it's current stage) feature-wise (yet, hopefully), and transferred my money back.
I signed up about a year ago, and finally got an invite a couple weeks ago. The signup process is certainly impressive, as far as UX is concerned.<p>It requires iPhone at the moment (just to sign up), which was a bummer as I personally prefer Android. I have a test device I use for work, so I was still able to go through with the signup process. I'd received my card about a week later.<p>I'm patiently waiting for the Android app before using it with any regularity, so for now I consider it a savings account.
Simple looks pretty neat, but I feel like I requested an invite almost a year ago now and still haven't received one. New features are great, but meaningless to me if I can't use them.
With apologies for hijacking the thread - I tried resetting my password for my existing account today, but have had no luck to my gmail address getting anything, and there is no other contact information on the website... help?
I requested an invite sometime on or before 1/24/11 (my earliest email from BankSimple acknowledging I had requested an invite) and still haven't received the invite.<p>Guess they don't want me?
