Top 10 apps for your finances on Google Play and Apple Store in May

Mobile banking apps tend to top the rankings  on the two largest application store platforms. However, there is always the occasional surprise.

The mobile versions of different banks are nearly always the most popular apps in the Finance category in stores like Google Play and App Store, however, other kinds of applications entering the top 10, be they corporate or not, can be indicative of user demands for managing their finances.

May reveals a few trends that point to a specific user behavior, especially when combined with those observed in the previous month's Top 10. The apps of the major banks continue to dominate the market, along with the progressive fragmentation of their services on application store platforms. Fintonic on Google Play and PayPal on App Store are the players on the scene that do not belong to the classical banking circuit, although they are now sufficiently institutionalized to be considered part of the financial establishment.

A standout app this month is Trading 212, for use with real or virtual money.
