Just out of curiosity what's the big deal? I received an invite was reluctant to signup because there is an "inactivity fee". As far as I can tell it's just an online bank?

From their site: "After 180 days (6 months) of inactivity, we charge a $5 monthly fee to avoid escheatment,..."

I think if you were to switch to Simple it would be very rare to not use your card for 180 days, but that's just my 2 cents. But yeah, I wouldn't switch to only have an "extra account" that would eventually hit that 180 day inactivity time.


Better account planning (with Safe-to-Spend + goals), excellent UI, instant report generation using searches, humongous network of free ATMs.

The inactivity fee takes a long time to kick in--we're talking a year of not posting any transactions to your account. Their customer support is very open about it.
