    Quick Verdict

    Best for: Everyday banking users comfortable with behavioral analytics

    Not For: Users who prefer banks not profile their tap patterns

    What It Means For You

    In-app behavior, including how users tap and navigate, is profiled by a behavioral analytics service running inside the app. Usage data is shared with marketing and engagement platforms, which may result in targeted notifications based on banking activity. How data is secured on the device falls below the standard expected for a financial app.

    Method and Limitations

    Static analysis only. CITT reviewed the code of this build without running the app, so runtime behavior was not observed. The findings below describe the analyzed build and may not reflect server-side controls or later versions. CITT makes no determination about compliance with any law or platform policy; it reports what the artifacts contain and cites the published guidance so a reader can compare.

    What Data is Collected

    The app collects behavioral data about how users tap, scroll, and navigate through screens. Device identifiers, session usage patterns, and signals tied to user interactions are gathered to support analytics, fraud detection, and marketing services. Financial activity generated during user sessions may be captured and used for engagement and notification purposes.

    Third-Party Data Sharing

    Data is shared with the following third-party services:

    • BioCatch - Behavioral biometrics profiling based on user tap and navigation patterns
    • MoEngage - Mobile marketing and push notification targeting
    • Firebase - Usage analytics and crash reporting
    • AppsFlyer - Mobile attribution and marketing analytics
    • Tealium - Data collection and audience management
    • Intercom - Customer support and in-app messaging
    • Akamai Bot Manager - Bot detection and traffic management
    • PingIdentity - Identity and access management
    • Google Analytics - Usage analytics

    Understanding the Scores

    • Security Score: 72/100
    • Privacy Score: 65/100
    • Data Security: 60/100
    • Network Security: 88/100
    • Code Safety: 82/100
    • Data Collection: 70/100
    • Data Sharing: 75/100
    • User Control: 68/100

    Scores run from 0 to 100. Higher is better. Financial apps are held to a stricter standard than general consumer apps.

    Positive Security Features

    This version of the app did not include observable security strengths in its current configuration.

    Areas for Improvement

    • On-device data storage should be strengthened to better protect banking information if the device is accessed without authorization.
    • The ability to control what behavioral data is collected and shared with marketing platforms should be more visible and easier to exercise from within the app.
    • The number of third-party analytics and marketing services receiving user behavioral data is higher than expected for a financial application.
