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

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.
