I don't run an OS on my phone or laptop that could run a proprietary banking app in the first place. Can't be inconvenienced if you don't know what convenience feels like in the first place.

MODERATORS
I live in the Netherlands, where there's a QR-code-based payment method called iDeal, which you need a Dutch banking app or little code machine thing to use. With my bank, at least, there are a few things you can do with the website that you can't do with the app, but for day-to-day use the app's fine.
- 2FA
- Some banks I use require I aprove transactions on my phone when I am paying this online
- One bank I use has tap to pay on the app instead of relying on Google Wallet
They are important.
I need to use them on the go so it's a must have.
NFC payments
Works fine on lineage os
