Every bank in my country
And their apps refuse to run on custom ROMs or an unlocked bootloader.
Banks are the one thing that should use apps. Browsers have too many security issues.
The bigger issue is them using the google integrity bullshit, that's not necessary.
My bank's app hangs and crashes my phone.
They should ask to use app, not require it. Users are not babies
So you never sign into your account on the desktop (browser - I don't believe any banks have window/macos applications)?
Because whether you agree or not, sandbox is a necessary for banking app. No other app should ever be able to EASILY (emphasis on easily) perform arbitrary read on the banking app data.
Until web standard can agree to have device bound session, it won't happen. Cookie stealer malware is just too dangerous to perform financial transaction. So maybe for read only stuff it is fine
