Nonlocal equations are common in financial mathematics because the prices of assets can be modeled following any Levy process. In particular jump processes are natural since asset prices can have a sudden change.
The Black–Scholes model, which is used to price derivatives, is essentially a parabolic integro-differential equation for European options, and an obstacle problem for American options.
A good reference for financial modeling with jump processes is the book of Rama Cont and Peter Tankov [1]
