You won’t be able to do mobile payment and some other things because the companies behind those other things will only allow their apps to run on locked down devices.

Last time I was looking for a new bank, I picked one from this list based on the reports available. Thankfully my bank app is not so locked down. Hope you can find something that works for you.
