Mobile banking is task- and frequency-heavy (payments, transfers, authentication). Insurance apps are event-driven (policy, claims, renewals) with long dormant periods. Wealth apps support episodic engagement (portfolio reviews, research, execution) with higher cognitive load. Fintech apps often optimize onboarding and activation funnels for growth velocity.
