Do bank apps work ok on GrapheneOS?

Nope. I just do my banking stuff on my computer instead.

You might have some luck if you use Google Play services, but they often check if you have a custom ROM and bail if you do.

I wouldn’t give such a general statement. It really depends on your bank. There’s a very handy list at https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/

Fair. I thought about linking that, but so many of them either require Google Play services, at least in the US, which kind of kills half the point of using GrapheneOS in the first place.

If you’re fine with sandboxed Google Play, then yeah, there’s a chance. If you’re not (e.g. you install via Aurora), then it’s incredibly unlikely your bank will work. Looks like US Bank works w/o it though?

You can use this list to check if you’re bank’s app is compatible

I can also just use stock android and assume they work. Sometimes y’all miss the forest for the trees.

And deal with all the bloatware, all the proprietary nonsense that sends your data to Google who then sell it to like a million other companies and give it to the government whenever they ask for it

Huh, not only do my credit card apps work but both my bank apps do to. This has come a long way since I last checked.
