Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HDB Mobile Banking holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HDB Mobile Banking's written reviews are positive against 40% of EFG Hermes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HDB Mobile Banking ships an update every 4 months, EFG Hermes fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
