Besides the privacy risks with full on moving your banking to Google, I think another big issue is when they decide this product isn't profitable any more, and/or some other department in Google comes up with banking 2.0 and you end up having to move all your bill payments, auto draft, etc back out. If we thought killing Google Reader was bad, killing your bank app would be even worse.

It sounds like Citi bank is providing most of the actual services so they'd probably roll the account fully on to them in that event.
So Google is the middle man? I’d rather just go straight to Citi directly, and get customer support on the phone or in-person
Yeah I'm not sure what Google's value add is. It might be like how Simple Bank was partnered with BBVA to run the back end (before BBVA straight up bought them).
