The article says "with accounts run by Citigroup Inc. and a credit union at Stanford University". If the accounts are run by these partner banks, maybe that means you will be able to contact the partner bank's customer service when stuff like this happens.

Then what's the point? Just get a normal bank or credit union account and be done with it. Why leave your financial future in the hands of a company with zero customer support or care?

Presumably they'll add some kind of innovative feature so it isn't just a traditional checking account.

If you don't think those features will be worth it because you don't think Google is good at customer service, then I guess that's for you to decide for yourself. I don't really see how it's relevant to my comment, though.
