Today’s banks can’t get away with not offering an online banking app. Everyone uses these services, like using your phone to pay contactless and sending out payment requests after a dinner with friends. However, these technologies haven’t been around for long and not every app functions as well as it should. We’ve ranked the best banking apps of 2021 based on three criteria: the App store rating, the Play Store rating and the score given to the app by the Dutch consumers association, the Consumentenbond. The average of these three scores makes up the final score. Let’s compare!

The app allows you to transfer money and send out payment requests. Just as the SNS app, it gives you a personal overview of your accounts and provides you with an insight into your finances.

The ASN Mobile Banking App ends up in seventh place. The app exists for business and private accounts.
Users can view their bank statements and search their bank statements for a particular credit or debit.

With a final score of 4.0 Moneyou comes in sixth. This app is relatively new, so the consumers association hasn’t rated it yet.
This app allows you to decide for yourself how you use your bank account. Just as with the ASN app you can create personalised accounts for different saving goals. Unfortunately it’s not yet possible to transfer money through direct debit or to pay standing orders. The app also doesn’t use push-notifications, but the app developers state that these features will be added in the future.

The Rabo Banking App is rated fifth in this listing.
Apart from the standard features such as checking your bank balance and sending out payment request, this app offers a lot more. If you lose your bank card you can block it and request a new one in the app. And if you need help you can contact the bank within the app through a chat or by phone. Lastly, the app can notify you every time your balance changes through push-notifications.

It’s no surprise that a technologically advanced bank like bunq comes in at third place.
Bunq prides itself in using the newest features and updating their app daily. As bunq is relatively new, there is no test by the consumers association yet. However, a 4.8 in the App Store and a 4.0 in the Play Store are impressive enough for a new app!

The ING app doesn’t score too well in the test done by the Consumentenbond, but the other two scores secure a second place for the app.
The app features a successor of the TAN-code; you can now simply confirm payments with your mobile device. Additionally, the app shows an overview of your credits and debits and allows you to plan saving goals. Want to request money from your friends after paying for their meal? Send out a money request directly through the app and you’ll find the money in your account.
No need for other applications to get your money back! With this app you’ll hardly need a computer anymore, as it even allows you to set your spending limits. Everything you can do with online banking, you can do in this app.
