So you chose an app-only 'bank' such as Revolut?

What did people do before such apps?

I chose the only bank that'd allow me to accept a paycheck in a reasonable amount of time after moving across the planet, yes.

HSBC in the UK now blocks access to your accounts unless you use one of the allowed whitelisted keyboards.

  • Nobody is claiming every single app works perfectly on alternative Android OSes, so pointing out exceptions isn't really advancing the discussion

    • I'm not on an alternative Android OS. I'm on the shipped Samsung install no roots, and no hacks.

      Old school banks will block access if you make your own keyboard so it doesn't phone home to Google or Samsung. Unless I misunderstood the original conversation.
