[LIST] Banking Apps on /e/OS

Community Lists
211

Maybe I missed the list for the United States? (I assume I just did not look in the correct area). I would like to add some more information for the community. Please let me know if I missed anything.

The following banking apps work and tested with /e/ OS Version 1.12.3-s-20230617300623-dev-sunfish

Capital One (Google Play Store/App Lounge):
Everything works and tested. including photo/deposit and bio-metrics.

Navy Federal Credit union(Google Play Store/App Lounge):
Everything works and tested. including photo/deposit and bio-metrics.

Ally (Google Play Store/App Lounge):
Biometrics fails. App detects something is off, and disables Biometrics. Will allow you to sign in manually. Photo/Deposit does function.

212

Nor sure how to edit this list so Iā€™ll make a separate post:
Austrian Erste Bank has two apps: sIdentity (for confirming login and payments/bank transfers in place of TAN) and George (online banking)

Both work, although Georgeā€™s stock trading feature seems broken

213

Ing Italia apparently does not work anymore on /e/os, microg services are all on.

It used to work just fine, but they must have introduced some new shenanigans in latest version.

It works fine on a stock full google phone.

Have tried clearing app storage? That oftne cures the ā€˜App keeps stoppingā€™ problem

215

I did, I have also contacted customer service and they reset my token telling me to try again in a day. As instructed I have uninstalled, reinstalled and tried again, but this did not solve the issue.

218

Can we also add, or have a separate list, of banks known not to work? I already see at least a couple that have been barred because they stopped working.

Maybe @Manoj can change the title in :

[LIST] Banking Apps that work/not work on /e/OS

or simply :

Abn amro banking app is starting to give me trouble. I get an error stating that I have to check if I have g00gle play enabled and on an updated version.
This is on my Poco F1 running android 11, e-os 1.8.1

221

An upgrade in due course might help; there is an Upgrade page for your device.

I know, but what I donā€™t know is if I can easily do that upgrade. For e-os S, if I read the manual correct, I need to upgrade to the vendors firmware first. That would be android 12 I think. But there is no android 12 firmware version for my phone.

223

That is quite possible for a 2018 device. The page may contain ā€œgenericā€ information.

Warning: Please note this upgrade build could not be tested as there were no device specific testers available. Some devices may need a revert to stock ROM prior to upgrade.

The requirement will be to have the latest firmware revision (you may have this already, idk). I do not know the device, you might start a new topic to get more user experience.

Haha yeah I know, itā€™s an old phone but still working fine. Iā€™ve asked in the Poco F1 chat if Any1 can help with this. Thx for ur help so far!

225

The date of the Vendor Security Patch Level (not to be confused with Android SPL) is the key to this and anyone with the device could tell you if they have a Vendor SPL in advance of that shown in your Settings > About phone > Android version > Vendor Security Patch Level.

I suggest it best to keep beryllium specific stuff on your other thread rather than ā€œBanking appsā€ :slight_smile:

226

Hmm I got the december 2020 version

227

This is a bit late but Starling still works fine on my phone (Fairphone 3, Android 10, /e/OS 1.5-20221031230909? Iā€™m on Starling app version 3.12.1.85044, not updated to the latest one but according to some reviews the latest version keeps crashing.

228

1.14 should fix this , even 1.13 I guess

229

Does anyone use Banco Santander in Spain and can verify that it works? Iā€™m planning to open a bank account with them but donā€™t want to be caught out after opening an account with them to find that I canā€™t use their app. I can see that there are a few Spanish bank apps (Deutsche Bank, Openbank, Laboral Kutxa, and Cajamar) that apparently works on /e/OS, but not sure how updated this information is as well? I was hoping to open an account with a bigger/more well-known bank as wellā€¦

Checking in on some US-based banks.

OnePlus 8T, /e/OS 1.7 (yeah, yeah, I hate having to back up and re-root every update)no safetynet hacks, all downloaded from App Lounge. Also, these results reflect functionality with ā€œReal IP Addressā€ set to ā€œExposedā€, i.e. TOR was disabled in testing. These tests are reflective of the current releases of the respective apps, as of 05 Sept 2023.

Massive caveat: I donā€™t have accounts at most of these banks (and Iā€™m not indicating which ones I do have), but I figure itā€™s a start to say ā€œthese apps donā€™t quit on startup or complain about rootingā€, which is what Iā€™m going for.

Banks:

Bank of America - no notices or crashes
CapitalOne - no notices or crashes
Chase - no notices or crashes
Chime - no notices or crashes
Citi - ā€˜rooted deviceā€™ notice on start; no crashes
Citizens - no notices or crashes
Santander - no notices or crashes
Sofi - ā€œSomething went wrongā€ after going to login page and exiting Webview; may still work after successful login.
Wells Fargo - no notices or crashes

Credit Unions:
Alliant - ā€œError - This app cannot be used on this deviceā€.
American Airlines CU - no notices or crashes
Bethpage - no notices or crashes
CPM - no notices or crashes
CU SoCal - no notices or crashes
Golden1 - unsupported on rooted device
iQ - no notices or crashes
Mountain America - no notices or crashes
Navy Federal - no notices or crashes, ā€œenroll in digital bankingā€ produced generic error
Pentagon / Penfed - no notices or crashes, ā€œset up accountā€ had a DNS error
Peopleā€™s CU - no notices or crashes
SECU (North Carolina) - unsupported on rooted device
Southland CU - no notices or crashes
UW - no notices or crashes; initial login went to site on AdAway block list

Credit Cards:
Visa (Connected Visa) - rooted notice; refuses to run
Mastercard (Mastercard Nearby) - rooted notice; no notices or crashes
Discover (Discover Mobile) - Asks for SU; nags if granted. no notices or crashes
American Express - no notices or crashes

One note about the credit union list is that I started to see a pattern - Southland, Mountain America, iQ, CPM, and Peopleā€™s (amongst others) all gave me the vibe that they were all written by the same developer due to their similarities. Citi and BofA are big enough to have dedicated programmers, but since the credit unions are smaller and regional, I wouldnā€™t be the least bit surprised if they all used the same development firm, who copy/pasted the code and just changed some logos / DNS addresses / API keys. I say this because I could easily see changed behavior replicating as a byproduct. If one CU starts demanding safetynet, Iā€™m sure the others will get the change. If one starts crashing, the others likely will too.

Hope this list helps some folks looking for US banking applications!
