A bank as cool as Google, that's pretty hard to believe; but, I think there may actually be one. And get this, it's Wells Fargo. A friend sent me a link to Wells Fargo Labs at exactly the right time, just as I was getting ready to send out, "You-owe me's" from a long summer weekend.
Now this is not to suggest that my friends are deadbeats whom I have to nag to pay me back;in fact quite the opposite is true. They keep asking "How much do I owe you?" and I keep promising to send them each an e-mail, and I keep not doing it.
Why? Because I'm inclined to say something like, Just give me a $150.00 and we'll be good, and that won't do for my friends, even if their share is $152.27. These are folks who like details, not round numbers; they thrive on knowing where their every penny gets spent.
And, so to my rescue comes Wells Fargo's Settle Up ; checkout the demo. (Note: It's still in BETA) I hope that this is a glimpse of the kind of services that banks of the future will provide. It sure beats what I now get from my other banker who keeps calling me and begging me to come in to sit down with an investment analyst. If they can't do it over the phone or over the web, they can't have my business.
