This list is super helpful!

I wonder if theres a “flipped” list - recommended banks based on graphene OS support? Like the best supported apps per country

Why not just use a browser instead of an app

Two browsers make this easy - Native Alpha and Hermit.

Use a web browser. If your bank doesn't allow you to use a web browser, switch fucking banks.

A lot of small banks and credit unions use the same couple of companies who handle their banking software stack to give them a cookie cutter mobile app that they just throw their branding on. That's why so many of them have banking apps that look almost identical. Fiserv is really big in this space. I know for a fact my credit union uses them. I feel like they could knock out a huge swath of banking apps if they just worked on making the apps made by these 3 or 4 companies be compatible.

How would it be different from this list?

The app is often used as a mandatory second factor for the browser page as well.

I heard some banks in Europe force an MFA through the app

Edit: op mentioned that as well in the comments

Arrows point in the different direction on the directed graph, which makes indexing easier (e.g. search by country vs search by bank).

none of the handful of banks here will let me do that without a phone through 2fa. all of them are adopting face scans too.

Does this cover the apps that work with exploit compatibility mode enabled? My banking apps work fine with it on, with it off they don't work.

I'd get a super cheap second phone then just for banking and leave it turned off most of the time.

That's crazy. I would just get a really cheap secondary device then and leave it powered off most of the time, only for banking.

I have less than a "super cheap second phone" in my account

My main fears here are that a) they might change up compatibility on a whim based on paranoia and b) I'd have to backup and erase everything on my phone to switch at this point

I wonder if you insist enough they'll hook you up with one of those MFA code generators devices
