Creating new financial apps involves a delicate balance of compliance and new thinking

Financial services apps offer a range of benefits to users, including:

Accessibility and convenience
Financial apps allow users to perform banking transactions and access banking services remotely, without having to visit a physical branch. Customers can access their accounts at any time, from any location, and perform a wide range of transactions, such as checking account balances, transferring funds, paying bills, and applying for loans.

Tailored financial management
The right app using the right data can provide essential information for effective financial planning and management.

Innovative features
From budgeting to purchasing and trading assets, financial apps offer tools that help users manage their finances in more ways than one.

While each of these benefits is considered a given, tight regulations can hinder a new app’s potential in the market.

 

The problem

A good financial services app depends on good data, but this has long eluded several tech companies. The financial sector is heavily regulated, and understandably so. The livelihood of the customer is at stake. For this reason, institutions, including banks and governments, are careful to not give access to a third party supposedly offering better services. With this in mind, the industry needs trusted players with trusted platforms, and APIs that can be easily integrated into nascent apps.

 

The solution

Swift innovation is vital to the success of a viable tech company. This includes adapting to customer needs while scaling operations and complying with regulations. To do this, financial apps need real-time, secure, and comprehensive views of accounts that adhere to regulatory measures.

In addition, customers need user-friendly, compliant, and scalable financial apps. With Open Banking, third-party providers can access a customer’s financial data with their consent, enabling them to offer more personalized and innovative financial services.
