INTRODUCTIONRankings and trends in the UK’s banking & FinTech app market

According to data from the BBA, the leading trade association for the UK banking sector, customers were expected to use mobile phones to check their accounts 895 million times in 2015. By 2020, the BBA forecasts that customers will use mobile phones to manage their current accounts 2.3 billion times, which is more than Internet, branch and telephone banking combined.

The second edition of “The Way We Bank Now”, a joint report by the BBA and EY, published in June 2015, reveals that: By the end of March 2015 alone, UK customers had downloaded 22.9 million banking apps – an increase of 8.2 million in just one year.

9.6 million logins to Internet banking services per day were recorded in March 2015 – a 10% increase over the previous year.

AT Internet, a global leader in digital analytics, has partnered with Decode Apps, a specialist in app benchmarking and monitoring, in order to create a series of reports providing unique insights and key stats about market trends per business vertical.

For this report, we’ve benchmarked 236 applications published by major banks and FinTech groups in the United Kingdom for the two predominant operating systems (iOS, Android) in April 2016.

The Mobile & Multi-device R&D project has been co-financed in part by the European Union with funds from the ERDF, and in part by the Region of Aquitaine
