Can you confirm transactions there, though?
Many banks in the EU require a smartphone for that at this point (or a dedicated authentication device).
But instead of using actually secure technologies like Android’s protected confirmation (which couldn’t care less about running on a rooted phone, as it runs in a trusted HW enclave), they usually just settle for (often very spoofable) “root detection”. It’s quite sad.
