Good Day to y'all Hiveans ✨ it's a fresh week, and I hope you're ready for this new week. A lot is going on in INLEO, I hope you all are updated.
On today's episode of money talks with Stevewealth, I will be taking about the business of mobile application development and how it has affected the financial sector.
Mobile apps have become an integral part of our daily lives. from ordering food and managing our finances to connecting with friends and tracking our health, there's an app for almost everything.
My journey into mobile app making began some years back when I decided to venture into it and acquire the skill so that I can have it as an part of my IT skills because I'm someone that's so much interested in tech.
Apart from the solutions mobile developers profer to so many of our day to day needs, the mobile app development industry is a very huge financial industry. So before starting my journey there, I made an overview of the market to know what's in there for me and where my knowledge of health and many other skills I possessed will be of much benefits and the financial returns thereby. This is what I'll be sharing with us on today's episode of money talks with Stevewealth but we will be focusing on the financial market how mobile app development has affected it.
The growth of mobile app making industry is evident in the vast amount mobile app available in the Google play store for Android products and also in the apple store for iOS product.
One of the major drivers behind this growth is the financial sector. Traditional banks, credit unions, and fintech startups have recognized the potential of mobile apps in enhancing customer engagement and service delivery. These apps empower users to perform tasks such as checking account balances, transferring funds, paying bills, and even investing, all from the convenience of their smartphones. what a luxury and comfort that affords, and you know that as humans we are drawn towards comfort and luxury is something we all desire. so we see that the potentials in this industry is actually overwhelming.
Internet banking is not new to us now, there were times when people where afraid to put their money in their phones for fear of loss from so many reasons but now even traditional banks have their own mobile apps in app stores and encourage their customer to use it for their own convenience and reduce the amount of time people spend in the bank.
internet banking is now considered one of the most important types of financial institution. so the prospects for the business of mobile app development in the financial sector are so much and will keep getting better in the future. I believe that time will come when the physical structure of financial institutions will no more be necessary especially with the advent of artificial intelligence where customers care delivery can be made from the comfort of our homes using our smart phones instead of spending hours in the bank.
The role of financial market in mobile app development
Financial institutions are major players in the mobile app development landscape. Banks and other credit unions have developed apps to provide a wide range of financial services. These apps offer features like account management, mobile check deposit, bill payment, and even investment options. Their major goal is to enhance customer satisfaction, attract new customers, and also to compete with other fintech startups that focus on digital banking.
Mobile app making in the financial market is not limited to just banking apps. Investment and trading apps have gained immense popularity. Apps like Binance, and Coinbase allow users to invest in cryptocurrencies, and other financial assets. unlike the traditional banking system, these platforms have brought financial markets closer to individual investors.
Fintech startups have disrupted the traditional financial market with innovative mobile apps. They provide services like peer-to-peer payments, lending, budgeting and financial management, and other payment solutions.
Not to talk of platforms like Hive, INLEO and other decentralized exchanges that are causing a total revolution in social media, content creation and finance. although most of it's front end run as progressive web apps where individual data are connected across several ends running as individual nodes.
Common challenges and opportunities
The mobile app development business in the financial market is not without its challenges.
Security and privacy has always been the major concerns when dealing with sensitive financial data, therefore developers often invest in strong security measures to protect user information from cyber threats.
Regulatory compliance is another challenge, as financial institutions need to adhere to various financial regulations and standards when offering mobile banking services.
On the other hand, this industry presents numerous opportunities. The growing demand for financial apps means there's room for innovation and developers can target niche markets and offer specialized financial solutions. As users become more comfortable with mobile banking, the potentials for growth of the mobile app making industry are so much.
one of the major concerns I have as regarding this industry is the multiple times users have to download an app or do an upgrade which is why I think the introduction of progressive web apps will be a shaker, especially to developers and app stores.
