      Is there any specific use case for the app that you don’t get with the mobile website?

      I’ve figured out that my bank’s app is basically a wrapper for the mobile website, the only thing they added being fingerprint login.

      Instantly deleted the app and use the website now, one less thing that can potentially spy on me.

        I have several bank accounts and at least here they all use their dedicated app for mandatory 2fa - Bastards…

        And yes, literally: don’t want to use our app? Don’t get an account with us!

          Everything in Sweden is authenticated through the same app ‘BankID’. We even have our passports in there.

            Not saying that I’m jealous or anything but… I am. Please insert here a personal insult that would offend you adequately!

        Would a banking app with specific authentication requirements really work through that though? Reliably too?
