I've never really experienced that. Which banks?

Belfius for example of you have ever used itsme with them. Also Digi (a mobile phone company in Belgium) since it uses itsme for authentication. Itsme is strictly an Android and iOS app.

More info on this is going to come out, but banks are going through hell right now with AI agents accessing user accounts and even firing off transfers and other accounts activity, and their legal teams are losing their minds.

So a bank shutting down a website right now and the "forcing" some Google/Apple "verification" makes a lot of sense in that context.
