Simple bank shutdown goes awry, leaving customers without account access

I'm really sad that Simple has gone away. It's way of managing money worked for me, and nothing I've found replaces it.

now I'm also really glad that when I got BBVA's terms I said "Hell no!" And found a different bank.

You might want to check out One Finance [0], that's what I switched to. While I use YNAB for managing my money it feels like this is the spiritual successor to Simple in a lot of ways.

Be prepared to expect to send a photo of your drivers license and a selfie basically any time you want to interact with customer service.

Interesting, I just started with them recently and haven’t needed support yet but I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll miss Simple’s support, especially in the early days...

I was in the same boat - check out DAS Budget. It's currently more or less a 1:1 clone of Simple's UX and is available as an open beta on both iOS and Android

It uses Plaid for its banking backend, and so far is working quite well for me and my partner
