    how banking apps are mandatory.

    This i don’t get, i’d rather use home-banking from my home PC.

      A lot of banks require their personal apps as 2FA to access your account. I would never agree to that.

        I don’t need to use an app to manage my bank account.

        Sounds like you people have shitty banks. Maybe it’s time to switch?

          I am not American you weird internet man. In the rest of the world and specifically my part of it - Europe, all banks require their app, there is no way around it, and there is no way to use foreign bank accounts or not have a bank account at all etc etc.

          I wrote about all this before, including ITT.

          Why the fuck do I have to explain this over and over like you was born yesterday?

          Stop assuming your country’s experience is at all representative of the rest of the world, because evidently - it is not.

          Sure, come to México and tell me which local bank allows me to not use an app at all and I’ll switch

        I love how you are getting downvoted for getting frustrated with people who can’t see beyond their own nose.

        I fully agree with you, these people just don’t want to admit some of us don’t have the privilege of choosing since all the options end up on forcing a banking app one way or another.
        Because it is a fucking privilege at this point.
