Itau (traditional bank app)

Brazil's largest traditional bank with a modern app

Itau is the largest private bank in Brazil and has invested heavily in its app over the past few years — it's now competitive with the digital banks on UX while still offering the breadth of services (mortgages, complex investments, business banking) that pure digital banks lack.
