It's not popular to say because Google is everyone's favorite villain, but those banking apps are far, far greater privacy threats.
A typical user session on the Chase website or mobile app might make a couple hundred https requests, and between 30% and 50% of those requests go to a dog's breakfast of 30 to 40 different non-Chase sites.
If you think it's important for your privacy to de-Google your phone, more power to you. But if you don't also de-Chase and de-Schwab and de-Instagram and de-Amazon at the same time, then your threat model is a lot different than my threat model.
