Awhile back, I remember reading an impressive essay by Matt Mullenweg (founder of WordPress) on how he would start a bank, if he wasn't leading Automattic. He gave it a name i.e. SafeBank, goes on to list its would-be features, design, how the bank would make money, market itself virally, and how a big part of the bank's website would be the blog.
Today I come across banksimple, which fulfills almost all of Matt's visions for SafeBank.
If Matt isn't involved in this already, I guess someone out there was listening.

banksimple is co-founded by early Twitter employee Alex Payne. (Source)
