[LIST] Banking Apps on /e/OS

French BforBank (legacy app) used to work without any tricks.
The new one (blue logo on white screen) does not work after account migration.
They forced accounts migration for all clients.

On the first run, for account migration, all worked fine. After all was done and re-opening app some time later, it just quits.

Tried to re-install with no luck:

  1. first launch, gets as far as to facial confirmation of the account owner (fail when tries to open cam)
  2. subsequent launches, fail completely as at the beginning, doesn’t even give an option to do anything.

Did any of you guys got working new bforbank app?

Any news about this issue for the Swissquote app ? I’m also affected. FreeRASP involved ?

I tried the UK bank app for Lloyds on my pixel tablet. It installed and seemed to work OK except for cheque scanning, which was mainly what I needed, as we have no local branches. I have removed it as I mainly use browser based banking on a laptop. But, of you would like me to do more testing with a view to adding it to your list, then let me know.

Austria. Bank99 - meine99 banking app works with and without locked bootloader. Though without locked bootloader no credentials are saved. Okay99 - used for 2FA only works properly with locked bootloader.

Personally I never use any banking apps whether on smartphone or computer. A Which? (UK Consumer publication) pointed out that the highest security score was 85%. I only make contact via telephone. Having an app on your phone is a bad security vector as if it is stolen your details could be hacked.

Hello,

It seems that Boursobank app doesn’t work anymore, it says that the app has to be downloaded from the playstore.

Tried on App lounge and Aurora store

On the /e/OS telegram channel people said that by properly registering the device with microG, Boursobank works without need of any Google account.

Hi!

I’ve been using the Swedbank app and BankID for over a year without issues, swedbank is for banking and bankID is for identifying everywhere in Sweden, but recently the two apps stopped communicating. I can use the swedbank app by logging in with a physical device, and I can use the bankID to identify in other places than swedbank. But whenever I try to use bankID through swedbank it directs my to a page that says that bankID isn’t installed or wrongly configured. I’ve tried reinstalling both apps, and therefore also lost the ā€œidentify in other servicesā€, but it hasn’t helped. Anyone encountered something similar? Or has any suggestions on what to try to fix it?

I’m on Fairphone 4, Swedbank app is 7.76.0, bankID is 7.42.0 and both downloaded from App Lounge.

Cheers,
Emelie.

Add it please to the list.

At the top on the right of Manoj’s icon there is a pen with ā€˜279’, that’s where you can start the edit.

I’ve managed to fix this (Swedbank app and BankID), not sure if it was reinstalling old versions of the apps, fiddling with all settings or something else, but they work again!

So, anyone in Sweden thinking of getting /e/OS but afraid of being locked out due to lack of bankID, no need! :slight_smile:

Added App eBROU and Itau Bank Uruguay to the list. Both working in Uruguay in Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S with version 2.8.

I was able to register the device but the link opening from the text was not working. So I had to copy the whole text, get the url of the link and paste it directly in the browser.
Then it worked.
Hope this helps!

US regional bank – Penn Community Bank (If there’s anyone else here who uses them, I’ll fall off my chair!)

Works on OS 2.9 on OnePlus 6.

On OnePlus 11 I could not deposit a check. I got as far as trying to snap a photo, but the screen was black where you’d normally see the check. (Camera works fine otherwise.)

I remember there was a difference in the OS installation process between the two phones because of some change in technology, but I don’t remember the details. Maybe that’s what’s causing the camera issue.

Hi,

In AUSTRIA, the ErsteBank has closed the sIdentity-service, you must use the Gerorge Ɩsterreich App now.

I had troubles to download and install the app on my fairphone 3+ / e.os running an shortly before i gave up, i discovered the solution by accident:

you have to download the app for the APP LOUNGE store and i worked fine for me; if you try to install it form the aurora store, there is an error.

i wanted to share this information in case anybody else has the same problem
yours
A.

Update: Penn Community Bank app no longer works on OnePlus 6 (OS 3.0.1) and also does not work on OnePlus 11 (just upgraded to 3.0.1). On both I get the error ā€œApplication Error We are unable to display your information at this time. Please try again later.ā€

Hello,

Today it was not possible for me to pay with the dutch Triodos Mobile banking app.
This app was manual activated by the identifier, beceause activating by camera is not possible.

But when i open the Triodos app ive got a message that this app do not work with jailbraked phones/Rooted phones.

I have installed the latest version of e/OS on my 2.9 on my FP5 and i was trying to reinstall this app, but now this app doesn“t work anymore.

Is it possible that this privay issue is getting solved after the coming upgrade to eOS 3.0?

Are their more persons with Triodos or other Dutch banking apps with these problems?

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online servicesphone

Yes, I do have the same problem. I called the Tiodos bank and they told me that this is the case since the latest update of the Triodos Bank App since june 12. I thought about complaining to the Bank, but I heard that more Bank Apps from other banks are facing the same issue. Not sure what’s the best we can do now.
I am currently using eOS 3.0.1.

I have reinstalled the Triodos app and activate with the identifier after upgrading to 3.01.
After this update/upgrade the bankapp works without problem.

That sounds very promising. I have ordered an Identifier and hopefully this will work for me as well. Thanks for your response!
