  It isn't though. What fits into a app screen of a phone also fits into a browser screen on a phone

    how your bank's push notifications work without native app? Recently I see there is fingerprint support in browsers on Android, but AFAIK it's quite new - have you had to enter password each time?

      Webpush is a thing? But I don't get push notifications from my bank, so I don't know what I would be missing? Also, not everyone is willing to use fingerprints, so there's that too.

        I'm interested in technical possibility, so I can understand utility limits/options. Willing or unwilling is per person and bit different question which is out of my interest for now.

Bank App, NFC bank card payments? Tap and pay or paywave are the best thing to happen in mobile IMO. I don't even carry a wallet anymore. I had having to carry a phone and wallet. Now it's back down to only have to carry one thing. Perfect

  I don't trust phone security enough to do that.

    It's the same as having a credit card for web orders that has a lower limit, you load the same card into the phone...

    Home is never far away. If something like that happened 99.9% of things can wait until I've been home to collect my wallet. Just as much chance if me loosing my wallet as most of the things you mentioned.
