The Bank’s Business FM hotline explained that the minimum version for Android phones is 12.3. For iPhone – 10. For owners of smartphones on Android, it will not be difficult to upgrade if the operating system is higher than the sixth version. But iPhone users will be able to update Sberbank Online only at a branch of Sberbank.

Evgeny Tsarev:
You will have to install a new version sooner or later. The bank cannot even at the request of the Central Bank support old versions without updates. An app update can be related to anything. Both security features and functionality can be updated. Specifically, it is always important for the developer that users update. Updates may relate to the collection and provision of certain information, a bonus program, or the account balance may not be displayed correctly in the old application. Any developer tries to refuse old versions so that there is a forced update.

How do I manually install the application myself?

I’m an Android user, I just update through the bank’s website, it’s safe enough. Another thing is that attackers can send SMS to users, and so they will install bad applications. But if users are explained that updates need to be downloaded from the bank’s website or from the old application via a link, they will do it calmly, and this will not create increased risks. It is not necessary to download the application.
