The people big banks overlook often have older phones, small data plans and patchy signal. If your money app works well for them, you have an edge the giants rarely bother to build.
Test on real conditions
Try your app on an older phone and a slow connection. Anything that takes more than a few seconds to load needs work.
Keep pages light
Simple ways to cut weight:

What it does
Design and preview your whole platform free, then launch when you are ready.
Handle dropped connections
If the signal drops during a payment, show clearly whether it went through, so people never pay twice or give up worried.
Offer other ways in
Where it fits your market, let people check balances or get help by text message or WhatsApp as well as in the app.
