My solution is to not do banking on my phone at all. My banking is done via a desktop browser.
But how long will this last? They're constantly pushing for me to download their app.
- malka1986 1y agoSome operations, most notably confirming cc purchases online, can only be done using a mobile terminal for 'safety' reasons.
- thaumasiotes 1y agoThat is not true for my bank. Also, "terminal"?
- sebtron 1y agoIt can be a special purpose device, it does not have to be a smartphone.
- malka1986 1y agoAh sorry im old and french. 'terminal' used to mean 'user device' here. In France, banking without a 'trusted' mobile phone is kinda hell. Even accessing some stuff for the state (they call it 'france connect+) will require a 'real' android.
- account-5 1y agoThat's definitely not the case for any bank I've ever used.
- progval 1y agoMine turned off SMS 2FA last month and forced me to install their mobile app. Which also required me to enable Google Cloud Messaging on my phone.
- account-5 1y agoSo no one without an android or iPhone can use your bank?
- progval 1y agoThey offer hardware tokens for 29€, but stopped making new ones. Android/iOS will indeed be a requirement once the existing stock is gone. I was promised a hardware token, but I'm still waiting for it six weeks after my initial request.
