List of Mobile Apps of Banks in Malaysia

As I moved into Android world (since I got my SGS2, well, I have been playing with Android apps with Android emulators, Jar of Beans, pokki, and bluestacks), I found there are endless of Android apps. Number of free apps on iOS was king, but then was taken over by Android since 2011 or 2012, does not matter now.

Android apps (apk) was not being regulated like iOS, therefore we should always only install apps from Google Play and apps developer only. I was thinking to start using mobile banking apps on my SGS2, therefore doing some research. Hence this list of Mobile Apps of Banks in Malaysia, in no particular order (and features and other stuff are as of Jan 2013, iPad apps not included).
