We want to help banks deliver these APIs ... The market can't wait for the banks, developers and users want new choices, apps and service now.

It was my understanding that the YC-backed company Standard Treasury (acquired by Silicon Valley Bank in 2015) was trying to do this. I don't know where they went with this or what happened (although I believe there was techcrunch write-up about them and the purchase by SVB). Hopefully you can make this work securely because having to navigate a shitty branded (which apparently means constantly changing) web interface to monitor and move money is increasingly frustrating.

The team from Standard Treasury ended up building SVB's virtual card platform.
slight tangent - anybody have a contact at SVB?

We are building a better front-end for any bank on top of Teller (or any other banking API) - http://bixtr.com.

I have some friends who use SVB but they all agree on needing a a much better front-end experience - so would like to help them.

Hey Jouni, meeting them today. Will mention you and connect.
Thanks Stevie! You rock.
