@europe Pure web, no smartphone, banking recommendations?

I'm looking for a #European bank with a web interface that does **not** require a smartphone app. Do those still exist?

**Important**

It should be possible to create a bank account from **outside** the country

@europesays 503 "Service unavailable"

Is europesays.com down?

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

@support does that mean somebody on the other instance has to follow someone on this one in order for things to sync?

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.

@springonion Do you by any chance have any numbers on this? That would be great! If I could present them with a document or article stating

> Play Integrity API passes for devices that are clearly out of date and undoubtedly insecure. Here's a list.
> These custom ROMs have been applying security patches and supporting those devices so they are actually **more** secure

It might weaken the argument that Play Integrity API is actually beneficial to securing their application.

Thanks for the responses @springonion ! I probably shouldn't make them aware of this thread then 😅 (even though it could be proof that they aren't, as they say "following the highest security standards"). If they suddenly do start acting upon the result it might upset the Revolut users on GrapheneOS (if the play integrity test fails).

Which security benefits does SafetyNet actually provide?

@android

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?
Thanks @floppydisk . I also create a post on reddit for more reach. Maybe it will be more active than the fediverse.
