Mobile security for apps that move money.
A banking app is a priority target and a regulated one. Mobexa tests the exact build your customers install - secrets, storage, tamper resistance and runtime defenses - and turns the result into evidence your auditors accept. Run it as managed SaaS or fully inside your own perimeter.
What financial apps are actually judged on
The exposures that matter for banking live on the device and in the binary - and they are exactly what regulators ask about.
Tamper & integrity
Root and jailbreak detection, repackaging exposure and runtime-instrumentation defenses - assessed, not assumed.
Secrets & storage
Hardcoded keys, exposed backend configuration and sensitive data written in clear - the breaches that make headlines.
Regulatory evidence
Every finding mapped to MASVS and rolled up to PCI-DSS, GDPR, KVKK, ISO 27001 and DORA-style expectations.
Proof on your terms, inside your perimeter
Regulated institutions cannot send build artifacts to a black-box cloud and cannot accept a scanner that only prints a score. Mobexa runs where your policy allows - including fully self-hosted - and produces signed, traceable evidence that maps every finding to the control and the regulation behind it.
- On-premise or private deployment - artifacts never leave your network.
- Continuous testing on every release, not an annual snapshot.
- Audit-ready bundles mapped to PCI-DSS, GDPR, KVKK and ISO 27001.
- Release gating that fails the build when a new critical appears.
One risk picture across every app you own
Retail banking, business, wallet, onboarding - findings from every app land in one deduplicated backlog with severity, ownership and SLA timers, and a portfolio number leadership can report. Android and iOS read as a single estate.
What static and dynamic analysis keeps finding in financial apps
Across banking and payment builds, the recurring exposures are rarely exotic. They are engineering shortcuts that survive review because nobody inspects the shipped binary.
Embedded API and third-party keys
Payment-gateway, push and analytics credentials compiled into the APK or IPA, recoverable in minutes with public tooling.
Session tokens cached in clear
Access tokens and account identifiers written to shared preferences or plists without hardware-backed protection.
Incomplete certificate pinning
Pinning enabled on the login flow but absent on money-movement and card-management endpoints, leaving them open to interception.
Root detection that stops at boot
Integrity checks that run once at launch and never again, so a hooked runtime after startup goes unnoticed.
Banking mobile security, answered plainly
Why do banking and fintech apps need dedicated mobile testing?
A banking app moves money and holds identity, so it is a priority target and a regulated one. The risk lives in the binary on the customer device - bundled SDKs, hardcoded keys, weak storage, tamper gaps - which web and infrastructure testing never see. Mobexa tests the shipped artifact the way an attacker would.
Which regulations and frameworks can the evidence support?
Findings map to OWASP MASVS and MASTG and roll up to PCI-DSS, GDPR, KVKK, ISO 27001, NIST SSDF and DORA-style operational-resilience expectations. You get technical proof an auditor accepts rather than a generic pass/fail report.
Can we keep build artifacts inside our own network?
Yes. For banks and regulated fintech, Mobexa runs as an isolated private instance or fully self-hosted inside your perimeter, so builds, scans, findings and evidence never leave your environment while running the same analysis engine.
Does it cover anti-tamper, root and jailbreak detection?
Yes. Mobexa assesses tamper resistance, root and jailbreak detection, repackaging exposure and runtime-instrumentation defenses - the controls a financial app is expected to enforce - and shows where they hold and where they do not.
How does this fit a regulated release process?
It runs on the build your CI already produces, returns findings as SARIF, and can gate a release when a new critical appears - so mobile security becomes a controlled, evidenced step in your change process, not a periodic external report.
Bring one banking app; leave with the evidence.
We will test a build of your choosing, map the findings to the regulations you answer to, and show you the deployment model that keeps artifacts inside your perimeter.
