My bank app has significantly better usability than the website because it can mostly cache credentials and support a short login procedure. Or use the fingerprint scanner.

Your web browser can fully cache credentials.
.. but the bank sets them to expire after five minutes of inactivity, because it (correctly) doesn't consider it to be all that secure.
Why is it secure when an app does it?
