A lot of small banks and credit unions use the same couple of companies who handle their banking software stack to give them a cookie cutter mobile app that they just throw their branding on. That's why so many of them have banking apps that look almost identical. Fiserv is really big in this space. I know for a fact my credit union uses them. I feel like they could knock out a huge swath of banking apps if they just worked on making the apps made by these 3 or 4 companies be compatible.
