IIRC, the 2014 transition to BBVA (from Compass) also didn't go entirely smoothly. I had to contact support in that, and ISTR they said they were really slammed because of issues with the transition. My problem ended up being that I was withdrawing money from an ATM saying it was a "Savings Account" rather then "Checking", which used to work but stopped in the transition. Took a few weeks to figure out that was the problem though, because they were having other issues as well.

I believe that Simple launched on Bancorp and then transitioned to BBVA Compass after their acquisition by BBVA.

(BBVA bought Compass in 2007, Simple in 2014, and folded the Compass brand in 2019.)

Thank you, yes, Bancorp was totally what I was thinking of.
