Architect for a major US bank reporting in here:

Major changes: every 5 weeks (build for 4 weeks; test for 1) Minor changes: every week (urgent and emergency changes) Bug fixes: as needed. usually 0x/week but can be multiple times a day if necessary.

Mobile app releases: rarely. The belief is that frequently updated apps are considered a bad thing.

Interesting report. It's a bit off-topic but I think at least with the AppStore Apple failed to separate bug-fixes (minor) updates from major ones - creating the feeling that updates should be kept to a minimum.

Regarding your backend, are you using any type of CI?
