Yep, for me, it is banking.
N26 (Europe) requires you to have a smartphone and a SIM card.
Obtaining a SIM card means that you need to identify yourself.
You can't just have a smartphone.
The OS needs to be unrooted and also mainstream (iOS/Android).
This really sucks.
Furthermore, Google and Discord lock your accounts, if you don't provide a phone number.
The alternative might be to use an Android/iOS just for banking.
Another Android/iOS for services such as Google (Play store).
And a Librem or any other open source phone as your daily driver.
Or, just live with a "dumb phone" or no additional phone.
I am not sure about the SIM card.
Is it even possible within the EU to buy one without identification?

- vinay427 4y agoObviously, if you’re in one of the many EU countries that require identification (even if simpler than Germany’s video identification system) it’s not trivial to go to a supermarket in NL. I imagine it’s possible to buy one online from NL, CZ, the UK if it has EU roaming, etc.
