Today\u2019s best bank apps offer features that can fundamentally transform how you manage your finances, from AI-powered spending insights to automated savings tools.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about what you can get from a mobile bank app today, and what to expect next.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stats\" data-position=\"1\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-1-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Mobile banking statistics\" data-outcome=\"\">Mobile banking statistics<\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"features\" data-position=\"2\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-2-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Most important mobile banking features to prioritize\" data-outcome=\"\">Most important mobile banking features to prioritize<\/h2>\n<h3>Security and authentication<\/h3>\n<p>Mobile banking security features have become significantly more sophisticated, incorporating multiple layers of protection to safeguard users\u2019 financial data and transactions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Biometric authentication<\/strong> has evolved beyond simple fingerprint scanning to include facial recognition, voice verification and multi-modal authentication that combines several identifiers for enhanced security.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Real-time fraud protection<\/strong> has become more proactive and user-controlled. Many banks also offer AI-powered fraud detection that identifies unusual patterns and potential threats before transactions are even completed. Some may offer customizable security alerts that allow users to set notification preferences for different transaction types and amounts.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015625rem;\">Card control features<\/strong><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015625rem;\"> give users granular control over their accounts. This includes instant card freeze and unfreeze capabilities, spending limits by merchant category or time period and transaction-specific controls for enhanced security.<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Data privacy controls<\/strong> let you see which third parties access your financial data. Bank of America\u2019s app, for example, shows customers exactly who has data access through the Security Center.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Digital wallet integrations\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Digital wallets are increasingly becoming a norm as more retailers adopt cashless payment methods. According to a recent survey from Payments Dive, 77% of Americans use at least one of the top digital wallets available \u2014 PayPal, Cash App or Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile wallet features now extend beyond basic transactions to allow users to control multiple digital payment options from one interface, earn rewards on their transactions or use a virtual card for secure online purchases with temporary card numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Some common examples of digital wallets include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>Apple Pay: <\/strong>Available for Apple devices, Apple Pay allows users to make contactless payments within apps, stores or online by linking credit or debit cards.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Google Pay:<\/strong> Similarly, Google Pay allows for contactless payments, but it\u2019s compatible with Android devices and can be integrated with Google services.<\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>Zelle:<\/strong> Zelle is included in over 2,000 banks\u2019 mobile apps as a way for individuals to send money to one another, directly from bank account to bank account. <\/li>\n<li>\n<strong>PayPal:<\/strong> PayPal allows users to link bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards and even store money within a PayPal account. It supports online payments, money transfers and serves as a payment option for many online stores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While many popular digital wallets aren\u2019t directly provided by banks, banks can make digital wallets more accessible for consumers by making their bank accounts compatible with digital wallets or even integrating third-party services into mobile banking apps.<\/p>\n<p>Digital wallets can make it a lot easier to make payments, but they also potentially make it easier to get scammed. In many cases, you only need a phone number or email to verify who you\u2019re sending money to, so make sure you only send money and make payments to trusted recipients.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Automated savings features\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A number of banks are now offering mobile tools that can help you save through automated transfer features, designed to remove the need for users to actively manage their savings. These tools automatically transfer money from one deposit account to another \u2014 typically from checking into savings \u2014 based on preset rules or algorithms.<\/p>\n<p>Ally Bank\u2019s app, for example, has a Surprise Savings feature that analyzes your checking account and spending history and automatically transfers a specified amount that it deems safe-to-save into a high-yield savings account.<\/p>\n<p>Other banking apps, such as Varo Bank, boost savings by rounding up change from transactions and moving that amount into a savings account. Varo\u2019s app also allows customers to choose a percentage of their direct deposit to be moved into their savings account each month. Even if your bank doesn\u2019t have this feature, you may be able to choose a split deposit through your job \u2014 check with your company\u2019s payroll department.<\/p>\n<p>Some banks are also using gamification to encourage users to save more consistently. These challenges often include setting specific savings goals, such as saving a certain amount by a set date, and rewarding users with badges, process tracking and even cash or APY incentives once they reach those milestones.<\/p>\n<p>LendingClub Bank\u2019s LevelUp savings account serves as an example, rewarding savers with a substantially higher APY on statement cycles when they deposit at least $250 into the account.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>AI-powered financial management<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many mobile banking apps today have evolved into complete financial management platforms, offering tools that were once available only through specialized budgeting software.<\/p>\n<p>In Bankrate\u2019s emergency savings report, only 46% of U.S. adults have enough emergency savings to cover three months of expenses. Many consumers are struggling to stay on top of their finances and avoid going into more debt.<\/p>\n<p>Banks are increasingly building features to help Americans save more and understand their spending habits:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<strong>AI-powered financial insights<\/strong> offer deeper analysis of spending patterns. These algorithms come with predictive tools that can analyze spending patterns and forecast upcoming expenses, giving users a clearer picture of their financial health.<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Budgeting and tracking tools<\/strong> have become more intuitive and actionable. This includes features such as automated spending reports with customizable time periods and categories.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Bill management features<\/strong> have expanded beyond simple reminders. Some apps now include bill negotiation services that help identify opportunities to lower recurring expenses, and alert you when subscription costs increase unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, Huntington Bank launched a digital banking feature called Heads Up that predicts what a customer can afford to spend, when a merchant mistakenly double charges your card and more. Bank of America\u2019s virtual assistant, Erica, now flags customers when a recurring charge or membership fee increases.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rewards and loyalty programs\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Banking apps have evolved to help users maximize the value they receive for using their debit and credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>Bank of America, for example, now offers a whole platform within its mobile app dedicated to cash back rewards called BankAmeriDeals. In the app, users can browse through all the stores and deals that are eligible for cash back rewards when they pay with a BofA debit or credit card.<\/p>\n<p>That makes it easy for customers to quickly look at what rewards they\u2019re eligible for when they\u2019re already out and about shopping, so they can maximize their cash back. The app also lets users view all of the cash back rewards they\u2019ve earned.<\/p>\n<h2 data-position=\"3\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-3-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"How to choose the best mobile banking app\" data-outcome=\"\">How to choose the best mobile banking app<\/h2>\n<p>When choosing the best mobile banking app, it\u2019s important to consider your personal financial needs and preferences. As a start, search for an app that offers the core banking features you need, like the ability to transfer funds and mobile check deposit.<\/p>\n<p>Security features should also be your primary consideration. Look for banks that offer multiple authentication options, including biometrics. Verify the bank\u2019s encryption standards and data protection policies and check if the app offers customizable security settings and alerts.<\/p>\n<p>From there, consider other factors that are important to you, such as:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User experience and interface.<\/li>\n<li>Transaction options and limits.<\/li>\n<li>Financial management tools.<\/li>\n<li>Customer support options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"MarketMavenQuote\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>\n                A mobile banking app ultimately is akin to having a real-time view of your account. Think of the app as part of the range of services and benefits that the financial firm provides. Some firms do a better job than others with their apps. Ask yourself, does the app do what you need it to do? Does it provide you with the functionality that you desire? This could include real-time alerts and the ability to get a quick look at transactions, balances and payments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-0\">\n                        <cite>\u2014 Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate<\/cite>\n                    <\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"whats-next\" data-position=\"4\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-4-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"What\u2019s next in mobile banking?\" data-outcome=\"\"><strong>What\u2019s next in mobile banking?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Expect your mobile banking app to only get better at helping you handle your money as banks form new partnerships with fintechs and make even more improvements to their apps.<\/p>\n<p>J.D. Power\u2019s most recent U.S. Banking Mobile App Satisfaction study found that satisfaction with banking mobile apps is up from 2024. Still, the study found that there is a great deal of room to improve when it comes to virtual and generative assistants.<\/p>\n<p>Another noticeable gap in mobile banking is that it\u2019s not accessible to everyone. The FDIC\u2019s How America Banks survey found that households with higher incomes, as well as those with higher education credentials, are more likely to use mobile banking. Banking technology may evolve to address the needs of those who don\u2019t have as much income or access to mobile banking tools.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a vast playing field out there \u2014 every bank\u2019s app offers its own variation of features. A bank\u2019s mobile app features can influence where someone decides to bank, since these apps have become closely tied to helping you save and managing your money.<\/p>\n<h2 data-position=\"5\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" data-id=\"br-h2-5-onpage-placement\" data-type=\"h2\" data-location=\"Editorial\" data-name=\"h2_all\" data-text=\"Bottom line\" data-outcome=\"\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>The best mobile banking apps offer far more than basic account access \u2014 they provide features that can help improve your financial health through advanced security, personalized insights and automated tools.<\/p>\n<p>When picking a mobile banking app, prioritize features that align with your specific financial goals and habits. If building savings is your primary concern, focus on apps with goal-setting and automation tools. If security is most important, look for multi-layered authentication options and fraud protection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA mx-auto flex flex-col items-center gap-6 my-6 py-12 text-base border-y border-gray-200\" data-helpful-cta=\"\" data-beam-element-viewed=\"\" id=\"did-you-find-this-helpful\" data-type=\"cta\" data-location=\"article-bottom\" data-position=\"banner\" data-text=\"Did you find this page helpful?\">\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA-initial w-full flex flex-col items-center gap-4\" data-cta-initial=\"\">\n<div class=\"HelpfulCTA-question text-lg font-bold text-center text-gray-900\">\n            Did you find this page helpful?<\/p>\n<div id=\"IJoff4UQql\" class=\"hidden\">\n<div class=\"wysiwyg wysiwyg--sm wysiwyg--flush max-w-xs\">\n<p class=\"mb-6 text-base\">\n                            <strong class=\"block font-bold text-gray-900\">Why we ask for feedback<\/strong><br \/>\n                            Your feedback helps us improve our content and services.
