Really? Banking? I know apps looking for root but never for developer mode (didn't even know you could know its state).

  Even simpler than that. I know Goldman Sachs will refuse to connect to their servers if you're using a proxy of any kind so that you can't easily inspect network traffic.

  I can confirm. I have run into a number of money/banking/healthcare apps that refuse to run (or in some cases, run but not sign in) if the device is rooted or in developer mode.

  At least one banking app I know will crash if it detects something as normal as a remote desktop app like TeamViewer installed. Banks are insane!

  Specifically SumUp, in order to use their app to accept contactless payments on-device instead of with an external reader. Of all the things one might want to do with one's device, this is probably the most reasonable to gate behind integrity checks. But I don't have to like it :P.
