What problem does it solve?
Both my banks have great mobile apps, can't see myself to code one just to make couple of transactions.

will there be a payment gateway which I can connect to my e-commerce platform or can use as invoicing tool in my business and the payment will be directly added to my root account ?

As neat as it sounds, programmers are a small market. Can you create an IFTTT interface maybe? You could try and replicate their approach in a more secure manner but it's probably a lot of work to reimplement.

This is excellent! I've been searching for something like this for a while!!
Currently, I use Buxfer.com (a mint alternative) and hook up to their API to do all my "bank-ops". But the problem with that is that they don't actually allow the transference of money from one account to the other. I currently just have an email sent to me when a transference should take place and I log in to each bank and do it manually.
I'm 'rooting' for you guys! Possible to do anything to "skip" the line?

I have been looking for something like this. right now there is no easy way to know how much spendable money you have in a checking account when you use checks and people don't cash them for a while. I created an app that mimics a check book where you have to enter every transaction including ones that haven't gone through yet, but without a way to link the transactions to the actual bank account it is a pain to figure out if you missed one.
Rad. I've always wanted the ability to create virtual cards for everything online to mitigate fraud or even just to maintain control... But other services that offer this are all kind of sketchy. Excited to hear about other creative use cases that developers enable.
@ecwilson I've personally been using a separate virtual card for every online merchant, and it surely makes buying stuff at sketchy sites a lot more comfortable. Create a new card, limit it to the amount you're about to check out, and boom! :)

A great idea in theory, but might be even more powerful if they built minimal tools themselves, instead of letting everyone make their own. Simple or GoBank already have 'light weight' accounts, and they are real banks which I'd trust more, but their tools are really minimal too. If these guys could provide an interface into 10s of thousands of small US banks, that would be pretty kickass.
p.s. Shameless plug for the https://Emburse.com guys for anyone who wants programmable credit-cards. It's less risk and huge value-add for the business.
