What would traffic from the Mint app look like?

[jessicah5015253]

I work in FSI, and we have been looking and the frequency and recency of account access.   The frequency was much higher than expected and there is a hypothesis that it could be apps like Mint checking account balances. (For example, I have 1 unique visitor logging into their account 45 times in a week.)

What could be some ways to prove/disprove this behavior using Adobe Analytics?  Is there any way to see that it's an app accessing the account?

The only way to 100% prove would be debugging against the production Mint app on a mobile device under the theoretical scenario to see if Adobe Analytics calls are in any way triggered through the app. I would recommend this course to have a definitive answer on the matter:

Mint.com pulls via an API or web scraping:
