Founded in 2009 by Josh Reich and Shamir Karkal, Simple was an online banking platform that aimed to make personal finance easier and more user-friendly. It offered FDIC-insured checking accounts, a Visa debit card, and innovative features like "Safe-to-Spend®" and "Goals" to help users manage their money automatically. Simple was not a bank itself but partnered with The Bancorp Bank and later its parent company, BBVA USA, to provide banking services. In 2014, Simple was acquired by BBVA for $117 million. In January 2021, BBVA USA announced the closure of Simple, and all accounts were transitioned to BBVA (now PNC) or closed by May 2021.
