Verdict

The call

CBC Mobile and ING Banking both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of CBC Mobile's written reviews are positive against 61% of ING Banking's. ING Banking's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
