The BMB app currently only works with Android 2.3, iOS 4.2, BlackBerry OS 5.0 and above. We may change the version of the operating system the BMB app works with at any time.

You may be charged by your service provider for internet access on your Smartphone. If you are a business customer, you may be charged for transactions depending on your tariff.
