A banking app is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to deposit checks, pay bills, transfer funds between accounts, and view financial statements. Banking apps typically support features like billing management, profile creation, recurring payments, and mobile check deposits.

Banking apps are often more than just bank apps. They often include features related to some of the other popular app types, such as expense reporting and budgeting apps. Popular banking applications include Chase Mobile, Bank of America, Capital One Bank, and Wells Fargo.

Banking apps can grow their user base by offering features that are more convenient than going to a physical bank. For example, they might offer 24/7 banking or real-time notifications about account activity. Banking apps can also offer a referral program in order to benefit from social sharing and viral growth.

A banking app faces risk related to the handling of real money, personal financial information, and the ability to connect with existing bank infrastructure. Creating a bank-like experience can be difficult without access to existing infrastructure for account creation, authentication, and transaction processing. Adding the ability to connect with bank infrastructure is often costly, with a high barrier to entry for new entrants into the market. It is advisable to seek legal counsel if your application will handle real money or sensitive personal information.
