Shouldn't we also have the opposite list; a sort of name and shame or if you use these banks, you're screwed list?
In part, because it can be more conclusive to take a bank that has consciously made the decision to block access, rather than having a list of banks that maybe just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I'm not sure because a bank being absent from such a list could either mean the compatibility is known to be functional or unknown. And that's very different and I would argue a very critical difference.
As a user I would definitely care most about a list of functional banks and that is what we have. What you propose, while it has its value, would not be actionable to users due to the ambiguity I raised above.
You may have missed "also." The comment does not suggest replacing the current list.
Worth noting, the existing list dies actually appear to cover both known working and known not working apps - apps that do not work have their names given in ~~strikethrough~~.
