I often hear people unable to use Graphene because (bank app) and this never made sense to me.

I won't question why you still use a bank, but why the app?

Access that crap via web? Use a plastic card and thats it?

Or use a secondary profile for google play store banking apps etc

Some features, such as card payment authorisation, aren't available through the web.

Cant you just swipe it?

Most of the time when paying online, banking app authorisation is part of the payment flow. Never irl. Probably using a VPN and a privacy email address increases the likelihood of this extra step being required.

Yep, my bank often uses the app for 2fa. I think it has more to do with the seller than VPN etc. my end.

In some countries, banks only publish mobile apps. Web portals are reserved for commercial accounts only. Personally, I have 5 banking apps in this category.

If needed one can use a cheap burner phone for crappy apps with no other data on it.

🙄

mobile check deposits

Use the atm for that?

that's much effort

Ya, i just access my banks via web. I dont know why people would want an app for a bank account.

At least in Brazil to use bank web apps you need to install a software that only works in windows and this software analyses everything in your computer and network making it unusable.

Pixel phones aren't sold in Brazil so you already have to pay a premium for a pixel, buying another cheap phone just for your banking, whatsapp, etc is the best way but Brazilian bank apps work in graphene
