You just decide what your acceptable level of risk is... For me....I feel that it is unacceptable for me to use a banking app that is NOT written by the bank itself....But I would use banking information over 3G/encrypted Wifi.
Pardon me, but you just contradicted yourself from above!
IMHO, there has to be a third party certifying institute, which can certify the security of any such apps...

For instance "Verisign Certification", etc...

But again...
