How crucial are banking apps? Your experience with them vs. browser banking? (lemmy.ml)

Banking apps seem to be a motif among things that don't play well with privacy ROMs. My bank's website does everything I could want out of it. I think I might be ignorant to something.

What about banking apps is especially compelling?
How often do banks put must-have features behind an app?
And should I be concerned that banks might move away from offering services through browsers?

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
