If you're a NBIF lender and not prioritizing a branded mobile application, you're playing catch-up. I’m talking about missing out on real productivity, seamless communication, and next-level client connections. The world isn’t waiting for you to get onboard. Mobile apps are no longer optional; they are the backbone of modern business operations.
Mobile Apps Are Powering Business Productivity
Here’s what you need to understand: mobile apps are productivity machines. They aren’t just about convenience; they’re driving actual results. Deloitte’s Global Mobile Consumer Survey shows that 85% of businesses integrating mobile tech are seeing a surge in productivity.
Why? Real-time data, faster communication, and decision-making at the speed of light. If your company is still drowning in outdated processes, it’s time to pivot.
Think I’m exaggerating? Harvard Business Review found that companies leveraging mobile apps for B2B operations saw a 30% boost in employee productivity. This isn’t magic; it’s practical. Mobile apps streamline customer interactions, accelerate transactions, and create smooth coordination across the board.
And here’s the kicker – App Annie tells us that businesses using mobile apps are cutting order processing time by 25% and improving communication efficiency by 20%.
?Let me translate that for you: companies that use mobile apps are simply getting more done faster. If your business isn’t moving at this speed, you’re falling behind.
The Banking Industry Knew It – They Moved Fast!
Now, let’s get serious. The banking industry, which we all know hasn’t always been quick to adapt, is already LIGHT YEARS ahead with mobile apps.? They began the conversion in 2010. There are over 3.1 billion mobile banking app installs worldwide, and just the top five U.S. banks alone account for 100 million of those installs—including a HUGE chunk dedicated specifically to business clients. You know why? Because businesses want access NOW. No more waiting in line, no more endless forms.
Yes, banks are conservative, but Banks also saw the writing on the wall on 2010.? They’re leveraging mobile apps to build loyalty with consumers, increase efficiency in transactions and reduce labor cost (When was the last time you walked into a bank and saw more than two tellers?).?
ChatGpt estimates that the collective marketing value of all those bank icons on cellphones is roughly $365 Million to $438 Million annually.

McKinsey saw it too: during the COVID shift, banks realized their clients wanted digital-first, 24/7 access to financial services. The big shift happened when banks realized mobile apps weren’t just another channel—they became the channel. Today, whether it’s handling deposits, transfers, or marketing promotions, mobile apps are the new banking standard.
The One App built for Intermediary Lending– This is a Whole New Level
Of course, all mobile apps in the Intermediary sector are not created equal. For Example, the Fintrade System with with an integrated mobile app is playing in an entirely different league.
Traditional bank mobile apps are designed for simple tasks like deposits, withdrawals, and pushing out promotional offers. Of the few mobile apps that have been introduced over the years, e.g. Mosaic and Lendscape they attempt to bring the consumer banking app into the NBIF sector with a few added bells and whistles. That’s good for consumers. But if you’re talking B2B, you need something way more powerful.
The Fintrade System isn’t just makeover bank app—it’s a mini ERP system built to give real-time, critical financial data straight from lenders to investors, brokers, and department heads. We're talking daily accruals, real-time loan performance updates, and tailored financial reports that can shift how your business operates.
Instead of just checking whether a check cleared, with the Fintrade mobile app, investors know exactly how their portfolios are performing at any given moment. Brokers can share powerful graphics,? initiate a custom application, see their statements, Lenders have a world of reports, graphic revenue and loan product information, cash flow, balance sheet, funding and lending details all on their cell.
Here’s the kicker: unlike traditional banking apps that slap their brand everywhere, with the Fintrade System, your clients don’t see the Fintrade brand at all. You get your branded icon right on your client’s phone, just like the major banks. Your brand, your client’s loyalty, and the seamless power of Fintrade’s technology behind the scenes.
You Need to Move – Now!
If you’re still asking whether your business should be integrating a mobile app into your workflow, the answer is YES.
The lines are blurring between Banking and 'Non-Banking Intermediary Services'. It’s not just about a financial sector anymore—it’s about dominating your industry with your cell phone app.
