Banking apps seem to be a motif among things that don’t play well with privacy ROMs. My bank’s website does everything I could want out of it. I think I might be ignorant to something.

  • What about banking apps is especially compelling?
  • How often do banks put must-have features behind an app?
  • And should I be concerned that banks might move away from offering services through browsers?

    I’m in the UK. I do not use them. I can login via website, and use text as 2FA. I do not need to use it out of the house but have that option if I want.

    I pay via bank debit card.

    I would be surprised if they app locked features. It would exclude elderly and probably be illegal.

      In the UK as well. My bank is pushing the phone app, and making it difficult to use the website without a phone. I will probably change my banking provider soon.
