Banking Apps Are Getting Smarter, But Are They Actually Helpful?

Every bank now has an app promising to revolutionize your finances. Some have genuinely useful features. Others are just pushing products you don't need.

We spent two months testing the budgeting features from five major Australian banks. The results were surprising. The fanciest interfaces often hid the least useful tools, while some simpler apps offered genuinely practical insights.

What matters most? Being able to see where your money actually goes without spending twenty minutes categorizing transactions. The best tools learn from your patterns and get smarter over time.
