I wonder how much Google's reputation around accounts will impact this. It is one thing to get locked out of your Gmail account with no recourse. It is something else entirely to get locked out of your bank account. From the article, it sounds like the account is with BankMobile and Google is just adding integrations for it, but Google's reputation would still be in the back of my mind when signing up for the service.

My opinion is that this reputation is confined to the Hacker News bubble and therefore will make no difference.
