SVB Go is a shit app, with a shit product manager, and the whole process of them forcing users onto is was shit. Shit = bad.
Other than the laxative industry I can't imagine a situation where shit is good. That being said it's a crying shame that a bank in the middle of the tech ecosystem with the very name of the tech ecosystem as their whole branding can't make tech work. Maybe it's just a mirror of the whole industry - lots of smoke and mirrors and not much real substance.
Certainly you don't need to bank at Silicon Valley Bank or whatever is favorite of VCs or investors these days. The article talks about SVB Go, but it's basically your run of the mill mobile banking app (which doesn't get good reviews on Android, btw). Chase's mobile app has been high quality for a long while. I don't see the reason to go with any of the banks mentioned in this article.
