I think it's more how they aren't following the unwritten "corporate website" aesthetics playbook and looks way more artsy, even fly-by-night (I think that's largely up to the use of a monospace font). Which is technically fine. However if you're told someone you're about to be shown a money management site and show them this you'll get some raised eyebrows, similar to how if you told them they're about to see a bank teller and you showed them someone in a tie-dyed tshirt.

There's no stock art from Humaaans and it doesn't look like a generic BigTechCorp website.

The graphic design on the page is extremely amateurish. Rainbow borders, weird typeface choices, misaligned elements - somebody else said it looks like something from Geocities, and that's pretty accurate.
Compared to mint.com, which I guess it's competing with, it looks unprofessional and something I wouldn't want to trust my sensitive data with.
Just imagine if there were a new bank which was decorated like... a head shop, or strip club, or something like that. Would you want to bank there?

Compared to mint.com
Which greets you with a “please close me” popdown, stutters because of a video, which plays below transparent text, jumps around at vertical scroll and couldn’t prevent it on horizontal carousels. That looks unprofessional.
Not to mention nauseous light-light-bleached green colorscheme. (I guess it ought to resemble mint)
Could someone please elaborate on the aspects you feel are deeply obvious to the point of not pointing them out? I seem to be missing them as well.
