Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid

Depends on your bank. Most work on alternate OS (like GrapheneOS), and of course some don’t. privsec.dev/…/banking-applications-compatibility-…
If an app (especially bank) doesn’t work, I forward them this and try to ELI5 that their current method is flawed and less secure: grapheneos.org/…/attestation-compatibility-guide
Which is fine and all, but then you still have to run a release built and signed by the grapheneos devs.
Reverse the question:
Which bank can be used with a linux phone?

Go on… How are you doing so?

Going for plastic when paying instead of using a digital wallet, using the banks’ websites for transactions instead of the app.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Mobile apps should only ever be used for check-scanning or for features that the online banking simply doesn’t allow (which would be messed up of the bank to do); same with mobile wallets.
