The Bank of America app is a webview of their mobile site. It has excellent ratings, and is currently the #1 free app in the Finance category.
All that said, it's clearly not a native app. Transitions from screen to screen are slow, do not animate smoothly, and sometimes exhibit drawing problems.

If you can name one successful app that's just a webview then this might be an option.
