MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, Feb 27, 2023 - (ACN Newswire) - CleverTap, the modern integrated retention cloud, released its Industry Benchmark Report for Fintech Apps 2022. As fintech apps continue to grow more popular, the number of players vying for market share has increased. This has subsequently reduced customer retention and "stickiness" for any one brand. Therefore, today more than ever, it is crucial that fintech companies find ways to drive customer "stickiness" by engaging users in effective ways that eventually drive transactions and fuel growth. The report reflects data collected from Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America. The report gives marketers a truly holistic view of key metrics within the fintech app landscape. It also spans a wide variety of fintech apps, including, but not limited to, mobile payment apps, cryptocurrency, and block chain services, along with banking and insurance among others.

- Install to sign-up rate: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps (21%) end up signing up within the first week.
- Average time to sign-up: 70% of the users that sign-up, do so within 75 seconds of launching the app for the first time.
- Sign-up to conversion rate: 95% of newly signed-up users make at least one financial transaction in the first month.

Given the relentless competition within the space, fintech platforms need to step up their Omnichannel engagement efforts to better retain customers", said Jacob Joseph, VP-Data Science, CleverTap. "The benchmark metrics laid out in our report provide a great starting point for growth marketers looking to develop effective marketing strategies. They will be able to compare numbers against global averages and pinpoint which aspects they are excelling at and which areas could use some attention or innovation."

95% of new fintech users complete a monetary transaction in the first month. This shows that while users see value in fintech apps, it's important to adopt customized user engagement strategies to boost retention on the platform.
