All I could find were articles discussing what they do, not anything else about them.

I'd assume, the lack of information is due to them being relatively new and not open to the general public yet. The only information/feedback I found, outside of the official website, was a friend's twitter discussion with another bank user. This is a friend who's opinion I respect a lot. He is usually on point with everything. This is how I discovered the bank as well. Anyway, they both discussed how happy they were with Simple, and how they haven't encountered any problems so far.

I've been with Wells Fargo since I was a child, but their rules and fees are driving me crazy. They once tried to give me three $30 charges for transferring money from my savings to checking account more times than aloud. This was a new rule which I had no idea about, apparently they sent a letter...

They also wouldn't wave a $35 overdraft fee from when I spent $1 more than I had. I even wired money into the account the next day. You would think that it would be a professional courtesy to wave it, considering how long I've been with them, and that I'm under my parents account who holds a lot of money with them.

Anyway, all I'm trying to say is wells fargo's is very frustrating to deal with. Simple bank seems like they're a lot more lenient and less of a hassel to deal with. I think I'm going to give them a try.
