Superapps are continually transforming the way users interact with digital services. They’re encompassing ride-hailing, food delivery, and even messaging, payments, and e-commerce. A single “super fintech” experience is quickly becoming what we would call a new standard. What does this mean for the financial services sector, exactly? To find out, in this article, we’ll explore why banking super apps are at the core of modern marketing.

Super Fintech Apps: Why They Matter Now?

One thing we can be certain of: consumers want speed, simplicity, and seamless integration. No more switching between five different apps for basic financial tasks – who would have time for that? That’s where super fintech apps step in, as they merge multiple services into one, intuitive ecosystem.

According to Gartner, more than 50% of the global population will be daily active users of multiple superapps by 2027. That shift isn’t limited to consumers either. Enterprise apps (from collaboration tools to financial workflows) are evolving into superapp formats, too.

Embracing composable application and architecture strategies to power new digital business opportunities appears to be growing increasingly crucial.

To put it briefly: if you’re in banking or fintech, you can’t afford to be surprised by superapps becoming a necessity soon.

The Superapp Asian Model. What Does It Mean for Europe?

In Asia, banking super apps are already deeply embedded in daily life. WeChat and Alipay are just a few examples; they allow users to chat, order dinner, and apply for a loan—all without leaving the app. You might realise that in Europe, we’re still playing it safe. One example is apps like Uber, where you can order food, call a cab, and in the future, probably even more.

Yes, the West is catching on! European fintechs are exploring how to fold payments, personal finance tools, and support into all-in-one digital hubs. However, replicating the success of Asian superapps in Europe requires adapting to different regulations, customer habits, and market expectations. That’s where strategic architecture comes into play. Are you ready for that?

Super Apps for Banking. What Do Customers Really Expect?

Let’s focus on the practical side, just as our customers do. People engaging with super apps for banking expect:

  • Seamless onboarding – fast, remote, secure. Nothing less.
  • Real-time support – and that means in-app assistance without long wait times.
  • Financial clarity – personalized dashboards, calculators, and advice.
  • Cross-functional features – payments, transfers, budgeting, lending, investing, all in one place.
  • Top-tier security – verified identity (eKYC), encrypted communication, and zero-trust infrastructure.

Sound familiar? That’s because these are the same pillars modern digital banking platforms already prioritize. However, in a superapp environment, execution must be flawless.

How to Prepare for Super Fintech? 3 Strategic Moves

To stay relevant and competitive, fintechs and banks should:

  1. Invest in composable architecture. And with that, make their app modular and future-proof.
  2. Utilize personalisation, using data-driven personalization – with AI and analytics to tailor experiences.
  3. Partner with others to build ecosystems that extend far beyond banking. Create meaningful integrations with non-financial services.

Whether you build your own superapp or integrate into someone else’s, the goal is the same: meet rising customer expectations with precision. Super fintech apps like PhonePe are already gaining recognition!

Super Apps for Banking. The Takeaway is Not to Wait

Banking super apps are not something to theorize about, as they gain increasing significance every year. With that, they’re reshaping global digital habits as user expectations grow. Fintech providers must rethink the app features, of course, but that’s not enough anymore – so our tip would be to take a closer look at the entire customer journey.
