Not necessarily. My bank's app for instance works perfectly well without Google Play Services. Quite surprising actually, and a relief that I don't need a separate non-deGoogled cellphone just to do my banking. You might be surprised that yours does too.
My banking app works fine without play services as well with just the loss of the ATM locator functionality in the map.
