Pune, India - April 8, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

Financial App Market Highlights:
The global financial app market is expected to rise to a valuation of USD 114.28 billion by 2023, exhibiting a robust 7% CAGR over the forecast period from 2017 to 2023, according to the latest market research report from Market Research Future (MRFR). The global financial apps market is mainly driven by the growing demand for mobile-based banking and the growing awareness among the millennial generation about financial security and budgeting. The growing personal incomes of the youth demographic are likely to drive the global financial apps market over the forecast period.

The growing dependence on online banking and smartphone-based banking is a feature of modern finances. The growing use of smartphones has resulted in growing use of smartphone-based financial apps, as it is highly convenient for the user to control their finances from their smartphone. The growing awareness among banking giants about the growing use of smartphones has led to the introduction of a number of financial apps and is likely to remain a major driver for the global Financial Apps Market over the forecast period.

The increasing use of cloud services in the BFSI sector is also a major driver for the global financial apps market, as it allows for easy synchronization of banking data and easy storage of increasing volumes of financial information.

The growing awareness among millennials about the importance of financial planning and financial security is likely to be a major driver for the global financial apps market over the forecast period. The personal income of the millennial population is growing rapidly, leading to increasing interest in financial planning and management. This is likely to remain a major driver over the forecast period and beyond, as the millennial population enters its peak productive period, leading to a further increase in financial capacity and responsibleness.

On the other hand, the risk of cyber-based attacks and intrusions on financial apps has been a major restraint on the global financial apps market. Though app developers have been keen to use the latest technology to protect their customers from online attackers, the risk of leaking sensitive financial information online is likely to hold users back from adopting financial apps or at least from making full use of them and depending on them for their financial management entirely.

UST, La Salle eye crucial wins in UAAP

THREE teams try to join a crowded leaderboard in an interesting UAAP Season 89 collegiate men’s basketball Wednesday doubleheader at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Asian Games silver medalists Kacey dela Rosa of Ateneo, Amyah Español and Victoria Pasilang of Far Eastern University, and Kennan Ka of the University of the Philippines return to their respective schools as the collegiate women’s basketball tournament features a triple-header. University of Santo Tomas shoots for its first back-to-back victories of the season when it takes on winless University of the East, which is trying to adjust under interim coach Paulo Hubalde, at 3 p.m. Defending champion De La Salle University seeks to regain its winning ways when it tangles with Far Eastern University, which is also gunning for a second straight win, in the 5:30 p.m. main game. Things are getting tight this early, with National University, the University of the Philippines and Ateneo locked in a three-way tie for first place at 2-1. After dropping its season opener to the Fighting Maroons, UST lived up to its preseason billing by beating the Green Archers, 80-75, last Sept. 16. Coach Pido Jarencio, who steered UST to its 18th and most recent championship in 2006, wants his troops to simply go with the flow and perform at their best. “Actually, there’s no pressure on us. For us, we’re just going to play. A lot of people are saying our team is strong, [but] our team isn’t really that strong. Sure, we managed to beat La Salle, but we’re not strong. As long as we work as a team, as a single unit, that’s where we’re strong,” Jarencio said. Hubalde, meanwhile, wants to get the Red Warriors back to basics and restore their confidence as they try to end a three-game skid. UE has been outscored by a combined 70 points in its three losses this season. “For me, I just want to boost their confidence. They have to know they can compete with this team. My main objective for the kids is to bring out their confidence,” Hubalde said. Chambers, meanwhile, wants his Tamaraws to temper their expectations after splitting their first two games of the season. Coming off a 93-70 win over UE following two weeks of rest, FEU hopes to avoid a repeat of last year, when it had to play catch-up after a difficult first round before falling short of a Final Four berth.

Dodgers eye 3-peat as MLB playoffs begin

Dodgers eye 3-peat as MLB playoffs begin

NEW YORK — Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers seek a third consecutive World Series title but Boston and the New York Yankees own the spotlight when Major League Baseball’s playoffs begin Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila). The Dodgers seek a three-peat not achieved since the Yankees in 1998-2000 after winning 100 games over the six-month season. “It doesn’t change anything as far as our standing going forward in the post-season, but it’s still a nice feather in our cap to win 100 games,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Six teams each qualified for the National League and American League playoffs, which start with best-of-three wildcard series play. The Yankees will host arch-rival Boston with the winner advancing to face AL top seed Tampa Bay in the best-of-five division series. Slugger Aaron Judge, recovering from a calf strain after missing 84 games earlier with a rib injury, aims to return against the Red Sox. The Yankees were 7-6 against Boston this season. “My goal is to come back as soon as I can,” outfielder Judge said. “Ask me if I’m going to be back I’ll tell you yeah.” Yankees manager Aaron Boone was more cautious, saying, “We’ll listen to the trainers and medical and see where we’re at.” Last-day qualifier Houston — the AL West winners with the worst record in playoff history, at 81-81 — will host the Chicago White Sox in the other AL series. The Astros won the regular season series 5-2. The winner meets Cleveland, which also earned a first-round bye. In the NL, San Diego will play host to the Chicago Cubs, who went 5-1 against the Padres, with the winner advancing to face NL top seed Milwaukee, which won an MLB-best 103 games this season. The other NL wildcard series sends Philadelphia, which survived four straight losses to qualify on the last day, against Atlanta, which went 9-4 against the Phillies. The winner will visit Dodger Stadium for a division series opener on Saturday. The Dodgers went 18-7 in September to enter the post-season on a hot streak. “As a group we played better baseball again and that’s what you want going into the post-season,” first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “Our pitching staff is amazing. Guys started to swing the bat better. Some of us still need to use these five days to figure it out. But a lot of good things happened over the course of the end of the season.” One concern for the Dodgers is the play of Japanese superstar Ohtani, who struggled in five games since returning from left knee and right biceps injuries. Ohtani, a four-time league Most Valuable Player, batted 5-for-21 with eight strikeouts and one walk over his closing stretch, ending the season hitting .275 with 30 home runs. “He came out of it healthy, so you just expect the ensuing days he feels even better,” Roberts said. “When you look out to Saturday, I think he’ll be in a good spot.”

Tatum ready to lead new-look Celtics

Tatum ready to lead new-look Celtics

BOSTON — Jayson Tatum’s one constant during his development into a star with the Boston Celtics has been having Jaylen Brown as a teammate. That partnership ended this offseason when the Celtics front office decided to trade Brown — the 2024 NBA Finals MVP — to the Philadelphia 76ers in what was largely a cost-cutting move that broke up the duo most responsible for leading Boston to the 2024 NBA championship. “The business of the NBA comes and plays a part at some point. And I’ve seen it in my almost 10 years in this league,” Tatum said during the Celtics media day on Monday. “For me it’s more so being grateful for what we accomplished and what he means for this city and to this organization. Just the ups and downs in our career that we were able to grow and learn from and made us the players that we are today. So really just being thankful for those nine years.” The closeness of the Tatum and Brown’s off-court relationship — or lack thereof — was a topic of conversation throughout their time together as teammates, especially as it became clearer that having two $300 million contracts on the books would be unsustainable for the team’s salary cap health going forward. The choice was ultimately to keep Tatum, sending Brown to an interdivision rival that has suddenly vaulted to a contender in the Eastern Conference after also picking up LeBron James this offseason. It has cast a brighter spotlight on Tatum, a six-time All-star and five-time All-NBA selection, as the unequivocal leader of the Celtics as he enters his first full season after tearing his Achiles tendon during the 2025 NBA playoffs. He said he’s ready to take on the challenge of leading new-look version of the Celtics, that got back Paul George in the trade and added big man Mitchell Robinson and guard Mike Conley Jr. “Yeah, very comfortable. This is Year 10,” Tatum said. “Leadership is about a lot of different things. Awareness is the biggest one. Self-awareness, awareness of the group. And just understanding we all have roles and we’re just kind of simply in this together. So it looks different from person to person.” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said the style of the team won’t necessarily change without Brown. “I don’t think that it’s necessarily the phrase ‘without Jaylen,‘” Mazzulla said. “Every year you’re getting new players, old players, the same players that you have coming back expand their games and they look differently. So it’s not as much what it looks like without one person or the other as much as it’s what’s our roster, how can we take advantage of the strengths and talent that we have.” Tatum reached the 16-month mark since he had surgery on his Achilles tendon and he said he’s ready to go after having to miss Game 7 of Boston’s first-round playoff matchup against the Sixers last season. “I feel great having this offseason to get stronger,” he said. “Get more explosive and just work on my body in totality. So, obviously feel much better than I did this time last year and I’m excited and thankful for that.” George ready to support Tatum If anyone knows what it’s like to try to return to the court after a major injury, it’s George. He missed nearly all of the 2014-2015 NBA season while with the Indiana Pacers after sustaining a compound fracture in his right leg during a Team USA scrimmage. He reiterated that he sees his role this season as filing whatever holes there are on the court. “Obviously, JT is the guy,” George said. “I’m there to support him in all facets. I’ve always prided myself on being able to not just do one thing, kind of wearing whatever hat that I needed to while still producing at a high level. That’s kind of how I view being here.” Robinson needed apology from Mazzulla Two years ago, during Boston’s conference semifinals loss to the New York Knicks, Mazzulla employed an intentional foul strategy against Robinson, a historically bad shooter at the line. Mazzulla joked Monday that he’d miss fouling Robinson now that he was one of his players. Robinson, who said he’s worked on his career 50.8% free throw shooting this offseason, said that his history with Mazzulla required a conversation between the two. “At first, we had a little issue because I’m like, ‘You’ve got to say sorry for fouling me,’” Robinson joked. “He apologized, and now we’re on the same team, so it’s going to be great, just building together and stuff like that. ... I feel like it’s going to be epic.”

Bears surprise Eagles

Bears surprise Eagles

CHICAGO — Case Keenum passed for two touchdowns in his first start in almost three years, and the Chicago Bears shut down Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles for a 27-7 victory on Monday (Tuesday in Manila). Stepping in for Caleb Williams, Keenum was 24 for 34 for 247 yards. He also scored his first rushing touchdown since 2019 on a 1-yard plunge with 7:19 left, capping a 13-play drive that took more than eight minutes off the clock. It was Keenum’s first action since he started for Houston in a 36-22 loss to Cleveland on Dec. 24, 2023. Williams was sidelined by a right hamstring injury, and Tyson Bagent backed up Keenum after he cleared the L’s concussion protocol on Sunday. Kalif Raymond had six receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown as Chicago (2-1) bounced back after an ugly 9-3 loss to Minnesota. Philadelphia (2-1) turned the ball over three times and failed to record a takeaway for the third consecutive game to begin the season. Hurts was 16 for 25 for 153 yards with an interception, and Saquon Barkley rushed for 82 yards on 15 carries. Keenum capped Chicago’s first drive with a shovel pass to Luther Burden for an 8-yard touchdown, and he connected with a wide-open Raymond on a 41-yard TD in the second half. Trailing 7-0, Hurts drove Philadelphia deep into Chicago territory in the second quarter before he absorbed a late hit by linebacker D’Marco Jackson along the sideline. Hurts was pulled off the field to be checked for a concussion, and backup Andy Dalton was intercepted by rookie Dillon Thieneman in the back of the end zone with 6:14 left. Hurts scored on a quarterback sneak as time expired in the first half, but Chicago (2-1) controlled the final two periods. Hurts was picked off by linebacker T.J. Edwards late in the third quarter. Edwards dropped a potential interception on third down on Philadelphia’s first drive of the second half. Chicago finished with 24 first downs and 128 yards rushing. The Bears had 28 first downs and 281 yards on the ground in a 24-15 win at Philadelphia last season.

Lynx take 2 WNBA awards

Lynx take 2 WNBA awards

MINNEAPOLIS — Cheryl Reeve smiled as she sat in a chair on the stage with Olivia Miles to her left, as the Minnesota Lynx were presented with two major awards. Reeve’s record fifth WNBA Coach of the Year trophy, she said, would not have materialized without Miles and her performance at point guard this season that made her an unanimous selection for Rookie of the Year. “What I was reminded of with Liv is the importance of letting greatness be great,” Reeve said, “and not getting in the way.” Miles received all 74 votes for the award from a national panel of sports writers and broadcasters covering the league, after she set the WNBA rookie scoring record. The second pick in the draft out of TCU played in 40 of 44 games and averaged 19.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting 49.2% from the field, 38.8% from 3-point range and 87% from the free-throw line. Reeve, who is in her 17th season as head coach of the Lynx and fourth as president of basketball operations, was sold on Miles and her curiosity and humility during the pre-draft interview process and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly she became comfortable on the court. The coach and the player realized they see the game through a similar lens, thanks to Reeve’s degree from La Salle in computer science and the mindset Miles shares with her father, Yakubu, a software engineer. “It was important for me to have someone who was humble,” said Reeve, who guided the Lynx to WNBA titles in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. “I think a lot of players come in feeling like they know and they don’t need to be told or have others around them to guide them.” Miles became the sixth winner of the award in Lynx history, following Betty Lennox (2000), Seimone Augustus (2006), Maya Moore (2011), Napheesa Collier (2019) and Crystal Dangerfield (2020). Just like Reeve became a better coach with her on the floor, Miles found the ideal place to land in the league with a core of welcoming veterans on and off the court in Collier, Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams and an accomplished coach in Reeve with such high standards. “I truly think that her method to her madness, what she refers to it as, will lead to success if we trust in it,” Miles said. “I knew it was going to be hard. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard. I didn’t think I’d have the opportunity I’d have right away, so I kind of just took that and ran with it. She’s given me a lot of grace as well.” Reeve, who received 40 of 74 votes from media panel, previously won the award in 2011, 2016, 2020 and 2024. She became the WNBA’s all-time leader in regular-season coaching wins this year. Golden State’s Natalie Nakase, who won the award last year, finished second with 20 votes. Washington’s Sydney Johnson was third with 14 votes. Miles, a native of New Jersey who started her college career at Notre Dame, led all rookies in points, points per game, field goals made, defensive rebounds, assists, assists per game and efficiency rating. The WNBA announced the awards on Monday, before the Lynx traveled to New York for an elimination game in their best-of-three first-round playoff series on Tuesday. The top-seeded Lynx lost the opener at home 91-75 to the 2024 champion Liberty on Sunday, when Miles had just 11 points on 3-for-12 shooting with four turnovers and four fouls in her postseason debut. Even for one of the most precocious rookies to join the league lately, the playoffs are another level of competition. “I think she’s feeling it right now, but it’s what we expected and it’s not easy,” Reeve said. “She’s a smart player, and she’ll figure it out.”

Kim Hyo-bin dedicates canoeing double gold to his foster parents

Kim Hyo-bin, a 25-year-old who has become a rising star in Korean canoeing and won two gold medals at the Asian Games, broke down in tears as he spoke about the couple who raised him with love. Lee Gong-heon, 70, and his wife, Choi Hyeon-suk, 63, took him in when he was 9 months old and cared for him until he left their children's home at 19. “They are my parents,” Kim said, wiping away tears repeatedly. “Although I never experienced the care of my biological parents, I don't think it would be easy for any biological parents to care for me as well as they did.” At the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, he won two titles alongside his idol and fellow former student from Buyeo High School, Cho Gwang-hee, 33, who also represents Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall. Kim claimed his first gold medal on Sept. 24 in the men's canoe sprint kayak four 500-meter event. The following day, he and Cho won the men's kayak double 500-meter event, making Kim the first Korean athlete to win two gold medals at this year's Games. Caressing his medals, Kim said, “I never expected to win gold in the four-perso

Korea fall to Uruguay for 1st loss under Moreno

Korea took a 4-1 beating against Uruguay in their men's football friendly match in Seoul on Monday, the team's first loss under their temporary head coach Robert Moreno. Darwin Nunes and Giorgian de Arrascaeta each scored a goal, in the 13th minute and then 27th minute, for Uruguay at Seoul World Cup Stadium in the nation's capital, with Korean defender Kim Min-jae being charged with an own goal late in the first half. After Nunes made it 4-0 in the 62nd minute, Korean captain Son Heung-min got one back for the home team in the 80th minute. The goal was Son's 58th of his career, pulling him into a tie with Cha Bum-kun for the most international goals by a Korean male player. Korea beat Ecuador 3-0 in Moreno's debut last week but were badly outplayed against Uruguay this time. They have one win, two draws and eight losses against Uruguay. The Taegeuk Warriors will next host Venezuela at 8 p.m. Friday in the southeastern city of Ulsan. Korea tried to establish early advantage in ball possession, but Uruguay exploited some holes behind the opposing defense in the 13th minute, with Nunes conve

Lee So-hee, Baek Hana win women's doubles gold in badminton

ICHINOMIYA, Japan — Lee So-hee and Baek Hana teamed up for their first Asian Games gold medal in the women's doubles in badminton Tuesday, ending South Korea's 24-year title drought in the process. Lee and Baek, world No. 2, took down the top-ranked team from China, Lin Shengshu and Tan Ning, by the score of 2-1 (26-28, 21-18, 21-18) at Ichinomiya City Municipal Gymnasium in Ichinomiya, just northwest of the main host city, Nagoya. Lee and Baek are the first South Korean women's doubles tandem to reach the top of the Asiad podium since Ra Kyung-min and Lee Kyung-won in 2002. Lee and Baek won silver at the previous Asiad in 2023 after losing to Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan of China, and they beat a different Chinese team Tuesday to grab their first gold. This was the rematch of the world championships final from August, when Lee and Baek also prevailed for their first victory over Liu and Tan. This gold medal contest had the makings of an instant classic between the world's two best women's doubles teams. Down 18-17 in the first game, South Korea earned three straight points to set up a ga

[Asian Games] Badminton star An Se-young captures 2nd straight women's singles gold

ICHINOMIYA, Japan — World No. 1 An Se-young claimed her second straight Asian Games gold medal in badminton in central Japan on Tuesday, becoming the first player to successfully defend the women's singles title at the continental competition. An defeated Akane Yamaguchi, world No. 3 from Japan, by 2-0 (21-17, 21-9) in the women's singles final of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games at Ichinomiya City Municipal Gymnasium in Ichinomiya, just northwest of the main host city, Nagoya. An is now the first player to win back-to-back Asiad gold medals in the women's singles since the event was first held in 1962. An has won nine consecutive meetings against Yamaguchi, including twice at this year's Asian Games. Before the singles final, An got the better of her Japanese rival in the women's team event semifinals on Wednesday. An's gold was South Korea's second badminton title on Tuesday, coming moments after Lee So-hee and Baek Hana won the women's doubles gold medal.

S. Korea's Kim Min-young wins 1st kurash gold at Asian Games

NAGOYA, Japan — South Korea's Kim Min-young won the gold medal in the women's +87-kilogram kurash event at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on Tuesday, giving the country its first Asiad title in the wrestling-like sport. Kim beat Chinese Taipei's Shih Liu Li-ling 5-0 in the event's final at Aichi Prefectural Martial Arts Hall in Nagoya, Japan. Kim became the first South Korean athlete to win a gold medal in kurash since the wrestling-like sport was introduced to the Asian Games in 2018. South Korea has won two silvers and two bronzes at the Asian Games, including one silver by Mo Su-min in the women's 78-kg kurash event the previous day. Kurash is a type of wrestling practiced in Central Asia. Athletes attempt to score by throwing their opponents, with a khalol, a throw that lands the opponent on their back, declared a victory, while other ground techniques are prohibited. Kim, 21, who switched to kurash from judo, won her round of 16 and the quarterfinals by a khalol (a full point). In the semifinals, she edged out Arailym Shegenova of Kazakhstan 1-0. In the gold medal match, Kim took five
