This post is awful, the link posted here is to a social media reply and even that reply does not contain a list of the 12 banks, it does however contain a link to a much larger list of banks, which are supported but not necessarily officially supported.
I have avoided grapheneos.social links on HN just like quanta magazine ones.

GrapheneOS has over half a million users. It has a lot of support on Hacker News from people who either use it, want to use it or know they benefit from the work we're doing. People who use GrapheneOS or support it aren't sockpuppets.
Your account is freshly created for the purpose of attacking GrapheneOS including inaccurate personal attacks on our team. There are usually multiple of these freshly created accounts attacking GrapheneOS with inaccurate claims in each thread about it.
It's very common tactic to falsely accuse us of doing things while actively doing them towards us. Another common example is to engage in personal attacks and post links to harassment content while presenting it as if it's the other way around with no basis.
I just wanted to mention that my criticism of the original post comes from a place of love for GrapheneOS and its mission. I really wanted to know what the official 12 banks are because I want to consider using one of those banks.
If you have evidence that someone is using fake accounts, you should email that to the mods. I will agree with the rest of your comment though.
I think GP may not realize it's (likely) all legitimate accounts, just from 'devoted' GrapheneOS sycophants. They just get sic'd on HN comments if they opt-in to "Do you want to opt-in to mentions for help addressing inaccurate media coverage of GrapheneOS?" on the official Discord.
Evidently GP hit a nerve[0], though I don't know what they were expecting trying to poke the bear like that.
