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 mean, it's been 15+ years since smartphones hit the market as a regular device, so those people where only in their mid/late 60's when that transition happened. And there are solutions in place for both digital access without smartphone and physical only access. I'm not sure I see how that is hostile to elderly or people that can't/won't use a smartphone or insist on physical access. Obviously physical access is going to be a hassle, that's why it's not the default anymore.
