Aren't there also issues with Banking Apps and their requirements around security and signing?
and authentication apps like itsme ...
access the bank website in the browser?
way ahead there, I use Android and my internet banking app is just a wrapper for their website.
The problem is: at least where I live, banks use mobile apps to generate second factor authentication. (No TOTP, all proprietary / homegrown mechanics.) No second factor - no login.
The proprietary second factor in bank apps tends to work fine, since it is displayed before any invasive authentication crap.
It feels stupid to have the whole app and that's all it does. But it tends to work.
But then, I consider a proprietary second factor app to be a huge red flag for security, so I prefer ones services compatible with Aegis or other open second factor solutions.
Not all have websites sadly. Virgin for example got rid of their web app and now direct you to download them mobile app as the only way to manage your accounts outside of the brick and mortar branches. Obviously I now rarely use that credit card, if ever. But others may have their main bank accounts and mortgages etc with such a bank and that would suck.
oof, yeah, that sounds like a good reason not to do business with them
As some other people mentioned the Waydroid app or their website can work. If you do Waydroid, you can install Gapps, and other banking app isn't happy with that, they typically offer decent mobile websites.
GNOME Web and Mozilla Firefox via this PWA extension let you have a dedicated app icon for any web service you want into your app drawer. The Firefox one works best, and I believe does a better job isolating stuff from the main browser.
What's cool is you can run an entire Monero wallet (or other cryptocurrency) on device for full mobile financial experience, though don't store more in it than you would a regular wallet.
