It's true that GrapheneOS is not rooted, and, unlike other non-rooted custom ROMs, allows re-locking the bootloader. But, whether a banking app will work depends on what level of Google Play attestation they require. While most banking apps work fine on it, a significant minority do not.

To be fair, this seems to be mostly a European problem. U.S. banks do not seem to enforce Play (dis)Integrity.

Not necessarily an european problem either. Maybe It varies by country but at least none of my 3 finnish banks check for play integrity.

I know OP checks for integrity/for third party apps. My guess for your ones would be Nordea, Danske and S?

Yeah I wish we could do without a bank in modern life. When bitcoin first began I was really in support of it because I saw potential in freeing us from the dark stranglehold of the banking industry. Everyone just manages their own digital money.

But nope the cryptobros just turned it into another pyramid speculation scheme and the governments ruined the customer independence with their KYC stuff. Now it's just an online version of the old system where the exchanges are the new banks.

There's a crowd-sourced dataset here: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa...
