“So it failed age verification and locked me out of many features. Bear in mind, I am 45 years old. I have an Apple account for 25 years, the age of my personal account alone should already verify my age.

Credit cards are not documents. Many people don’t have them. Apple don’t provide any other way to verify your age because they are a stupid American company with American values in which you’re just as human as your credit score.

Age verification is a scam, but checking it with a credit card is even worse.”

If you're looking for a de-Googled #Android phone, I highly recommend GrapheneOS. I switched from using Google Android a few months ago as my daily driver and couldn't be happier.
I don't know about specifically banking applications, but I have to have several apps for work that rely on Google Services, and have had no issues with any of them.
On the note of switching to #linux beware that many distributions are implementing age verification as well through the reliance on systemd.
I have switched to Void Linux from Debian and Fedora, and am so far quite pleased with it. It is certainly a learning process, but I'm very satisfied with the OS.

I have been running GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9a.
I setup Void Linux on my ThinkPad T440p first (I use this as more of a computer just for tinkering), and then on my E14 gen 6, which is my daily driver.
