By James Haslam | April 14, 2021

Finance apps are having a moment—and the impact is profound. Never have more people in more countries relied on finance apps to manage their lives and plan their future. 

The growing popularity of finance apps, measured in installs, even outranks social networking apps, traditionally the category that leads the pack of must-have apps. It would seem that transaction, not interaction, is becoming a critical human need. It’s a seismic shift that portends massive opportunities for marketers in challenging times.

The 2021 Mobile Finance Apps Report draws from 12 million installs across 188 finance apps to help marketers plan and prioritize tactics in a changing and challenging market. We’ve partnered with app market intelligence provider App Annie for data and metrics to identify key trends, significant behavior patterns, and other factors marketers need to know to reach and convert their target audience.
