    A lot of people cry about banking apps not working on phones that have been rooted/degoogled/whatever. But seriously, just use their website. The app is usually just a front end for the site anyway.

      and if you don’t use the app, they’ll force you to pay for second factor code SMSs each and every time you log in.

      My credit union site doesn’t scale to mobile screens unfortunately. It is a massive pain in the ass to use the browser

      Correction, looks like they finally updated it a few months ago to scale.
