Beats me! I'm in the process of moving banking and payment off my phone in preparation for a Linux one. These things will very likely not work on non-proprietary devices.

Go on... How are you doing so?

[-] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago

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

[-] Prathas@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

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.

Depends on your bank. Most work on alternate OS (like GrapheneOS), and of course some don't. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

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: https://grapheneos.org/articles/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?
