Can anybody recommend #European banks that do **not** require a smartphone app and allow #onlineBanking via a #webInterface ?

Update on the #complaint about #revolut to #kifid
I sent in my response to #kifid and have been waiting on a response from Revolut for about a month now. They should respond any time now (they are legally obliged to). What will be the outcome, I don't know.
My hope is that with more banks joining the #EuropeanPaymentInitiative and #ChristineLagarde (head of the European Central Bank) officially saying we need European solutions, that it is dawning on Revolut (and other banks) that forcing US tech on the client side is a liability.
Which security benefits does SafetyNet actually provide?
I have a complaint with #Revolut about their app not working on degoogled phones and they claim whitelisting certain ROMs would lower their security. Does anybody have expert knowledge of SafetyNet and can give some insight into how it works and whether having a whitelist or outright disabling it to allow an app to run on a degoogled phone / ROM would actually make it less secure?
It is unclear to me whether SafetyNet is just a "is this phone in the list of accepted OEMs and unrooted" check or if it's more sophisticated like checking for viruses, apps with too many permissions, whether certain known bad apps are installed, etc.
@support is sh.itjust.works somehow defederated? I tried to post to their cybersecurity community and it isn't showing up there. Before I start trying to post to other communities, am I on the wrong server for communicating with lemmy instances?
Does Android's SafetyNet actually make it safer for apps to run?
Currently have a #complaint at #kifid (instititute for complaints against financial service providers in the Netherlands) against #revolut because it doesn't work on #degoogled phones. They claim it makes it more secure. Can anybody point me to a study or expert opinion on the #security benefits of #safetynet and how it protects #android phones?
My inkling about googled OEM phones is this:
- many are old
- many aren't receiving patches anymore
- many receive security patches late (weeks or months)
And regarding degoogled phones:
- they are more likely to get security patches more quickly
- they are often maintained longer than OEM phones
- certain ROMs #calyxos #grapheneos (to a certain degree #eos) are actually more secure than stock OEMs due to either
* security focus
* faster security patches
* being limited to relockable bootloaders
