The ICD Online app for iPhone will shut down on May 19th. So what’s now

When last spring from the App Store almost simultaneously missing apps all major Russian banks, for many it was a real shock. It was not clear what would happen next. After all, if Apple removed clients from the catalog, it is highly likely that it will be able to disable those that were already installed. However, the banks said there is no cause for concern because all applications will continue to work the same way as before. The only thing that embarrassed me personally was the lack of updates, and hence the ability to improve the security of the program, which in the end would invariably lead to security problems. That’s how it ended up happening.

The MKB Bank app will no longer work on iOS if it was installed from the App Store

MKB Online for iPhone not working

The MKB Online application can no longer work due to security certificates that the bank cannot update

Mobile application ICD Online will stop working on iOS in the near future. Judging by the message that the bank’s customers received, this will happen on May 19th. The reason is the expiration of the security certificates that ensure its operation. Despite the fact that representatives of the bank assured that there would be no problems with already installed applications, everything turned out to be exactly the opposite.

Stopping the application is not directly related to Apple restrictions. Directly – because there is still an indirect fault of the company here. Due to the fact that MKB Online has been removed from the App Store, the bank cannot deliver the update with up-to-date security certificates to all users. And in their absence, using the application can be simply dangerous, given that the protection mechanisms stop working.

IBC retains web version

Despite disabling the application, MKB reported that this would not affect the quality of customer service. The statement is rather contradictory, since for many it was online banking that was the key tool for interacting with their accounts. And without an application, it will be at least difficult to manage finances online. Although technically there are at least two ways to retain access to bank services.

How to install MKB Online on iPhone

The first way – install the ICD web application. It is already available in the AppleInsider.ru catalog, where we have collected browser versions of personal accounts of banks and other services removed from the App Store. Here’s what you need to do for this:

• Switch from iPhone to MKB personal account website;
• Click on the “Share” button at the very bottom of the screen;
• In the drop-down menu, select “Go to Home Screen”;

iPad has a share button at the top

• Confirm adding the application and open it;
• Log in to your bank account and use.

Personal cabinet MKB Online, despite the fact that it does not run in a browser, but as a regular program, it still differs from a native client. For example, web applications do not have access to the camera, which is why they cannot be used to pay in stores by scanning a QR code. In addition, the interface of a browser-based LC is usually not as convenient and beautiful as that of apps from the App Store. Although – again – it’s still better than nothing at all.

Where to get the ICD Online app

Second way return the ICD Online application – Contact the office directly. Since January 2023, the bank has been offering a service for installing a native client on iOS users’ devices. The service is provided free of charge and involves downloading the current version of the application with all security certificates that allow you to use the bank’s services without restrictions. This app won’t turn off even after May 19th.

The application can still be installed in the MCD office

The algorithm of your actions in this case will be something like this:

• Find on the map the address of the MCB bank branch closest to you;
• Come during business hours and take a ticket to install the application;
• Approach the bank employee who installs the software;
• Give him the iPhone and wait until the application is installed.

As you can see, we do not suggest that you use iMazing to restore the application. IKB Online on iPhone. The reason is simple and is that it won’t give you the result you want. Since the security certificates in the application no longer work, the bank decided to disable it in principle. Therefore, no matter what version of the native client you download and where you get it from, it will not work. Of course, this does not apply to the assembly installed in the bank office.
