My bank doesn't allow access through a browser. It has to be the app or else you have to travel to their HQ in person (I guess) and close your account.

Can I ask what bank and why on Earth you continue to give them your business?

I guess I'm unusual in that I've been using an "online" only bank for 20 years (back then it wasn't so online... I had a stack of UPS overnight envelopes for check deposits), but I cannot imagine patronizing a bank that won't let me log in and do basically anything from a browser.

  • In quite a few Asian countries there are no banks left that don't force you to use their apps. There is not other option.

  • I have never seen a bank that allows mobile deposits from a browser. I have always seen it require an app.

do they still allow you to download your transactions to your phone and get them to your pc that way? just curious, I'd be screwed, I don't know how to install apps on my phone.
