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?

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.

They are important.

I need to use them on the go so it's a must have.

  • 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
