Hey I’m curious. Is there a speciffic feature Graphene doesn’t support that your bank app requires? I’m in Australia, and am planning to use GrapheneOS on a Pixel phone, so I’m wondering if my bank app would be affected too.
When government/corporate services are involved, I suggest doing as much as you can via the web browser as opposed to app, in the interests of privacy and civil liberty.
So long as it’s going through the browser we have a degree of control over functionality and connectivity. Apps strip that away. Apps are you doing everything on their terms, while suffering an ad (their logo) on your home screen rent-free. You can pin browser bookmarks to home as well in Android.
True. For some reason I was sure I remembered the mobile version of my banks website not working for actual banking, but it turns out it does, at least currently. Hopefully it stays that way and they don’t push too hard for the app. If they do drop it, I can always block app trackers with a DNS service like Mullvad or Quad9
Hello, pixel 8 grapheneOS user here. I was going to say that some bank apps don’t work like chase bank and I went to look for a compatibility list and it said it worked. As it turns out, I just had to enable a setting for that app and now it works just fine. So I guess look at the compatibility list and the comments listed.

Thanks, my bank is compatible according to that list.
When I first started using graphene my bank app worked fine but at the beginning of this year my bank decided that it would dent access to any phone that is rooted.
So it isn’t really an issue with graphene itself it is more that I dare to root my device and my arsehole bank believes I shouldn’t do this!
Meh, for me it doesn’t take any more effort to just log in from my browser. It just has an added step each time of having to receive a text and enter a code. I only really use it maybe twice a month anyway so it is no drama for me.
