ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FaisaMobile by MIB holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BML Mobile Banking has 432 ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of BML Mobile Banking's written reviews are positive against 13% of FaisaMobile by MIB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BML Mobile Banking ships an update monthly, FaisaMobile by MIB every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
