ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

First Iraqi Bank for Business holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Switch's written reviews are positive against 0% of First Iraqi Bank for Business's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
