[LIST] Banking Apps on /e/OS

I have this issue too on a FP5 with /e/OS 3.5 official. For me the problem was introduced by the december update to the swisscard app in order to continue to get notifications etc I am continuing to run with version 2.38.4 of the swisscard app which did work fine, it has some issues since I updated /e/OS/ from 3.4 to 3.5 but at least it runs. The same problem is also there on the 3.5 community build version.

From my tests the root detection was clearly introduced by the app with their december release (I’ve tried reporting it to them too) .

I am pleased to see that you are running with a locked bootloader because I am not and was concerned that the issue was because of that.
I just tried it on my SM-T500 running A15 lineage with microg and root is not detected there so what do I do, report it as an /e/OS bug?

I’m sorry to report LCL contactless payment side app stopped working a few weeks ago for me.

An app update has been dropped this week-end, and it now displays at startup (my translation):

ā€œyour device does not comply with security standard allowing to use application Paiement Mobile LCLā€, with support email address.

I contacted the support, and they stated that one requirement is: ā€œpre-installed Google Play Storeā€.

I will fill a complain, but I’m dubious on its chances of success.

Looks like many banking apps are going towards requiring Apple or Google ā€œsecurityā€ framework. Is there an existing collective trying to repell this?

IKO application for Polish bank PKO Bank Polski works. Contactless payments via BLIK, parking tickets, transportation tickets, managing accounts, adding car for auto charging my account on paid roads. Most of the application work. The only issue is ATM localization on map. The IKO application uses Google Maps, and since /e/OS uses MapLibre the textures are not loaded.

My location on the map.

A random town shown on the map.

Maybe a translation wrapper would fix it but since its a bank application.. it should be baked into the OS since using fake banking apps is quite risky.

Hello @bruno30114

Is this still the case? It’s strange because on my side it’s never stopped working since I installed it on my FP6 :thinking:

Did you buy your FP6 or did you install it yourself?

Have a nice week-end,

Hello Aude,

Thank you very much for your feedback and your interest. I bought my FP6 new on the MURENA website with /e/OS installed… I checked all the microG settings… Everything is normal (activated)… BoursoBanq ran on update 3.4 and stopped working on the app update. I hope that a solution will emerge…

Have a nice week-end.

For your complete information :

The app installed from AppLounge

In micro-g options, device attestation, advanced options at the top right, could you try to activate ā€œblock hardware attestationā€ / ā€œbloquer l’attestation matĆ©rielleā€?

Hello Telcoced,

Thank you for your help.

I tried…same rĆ©sults…I tried with a new installation of the APP…with the both options (with activation and no activation of ā€œblock hardware attestationā€)…same results…

Hello @AudeM,

I assume your FP6 is in /e/OS/ 3.5. Is BoursoBank working in native mode or though Shelter?

Regards

With the update of the consors bank app to version 2.4.2 the app is working again on e-3.4-a15 and e-3.5-a15. I’m running e/OS/ on a moto g42 (hawao).

Hello @bruno30114

This is very strange. I’ll request the devs working on app compatibility to have another look.

Have a nice day,

Aude

Hello @eOSPC92

My FP6 is indeed in /e/OS 3.5 and Bourso is working in native mode.

Have a nice day,

The AIB Mobile app (Ireland) does not seem to be working on 3.5 using a Fairphone 5. The app keeps prompting me for a ā€˜Security Update’ but fails showing an error of ā€˜Authentication Failed’.

bravo, I used this procedure on my FP6 and it works very well. Thank you

Seconding this. You can initially log into the app but then get caught in an ā€œauthentication failedā€ loop for the in-app security update. As a result you can’t use any app functionality except to see your balance.

Hello Aude,

Thank you very much for tour feedback.

Of course I am available to developers.

Have a nice day to,

@bruno30114 Hi. Can you reproduce the error message and then catch logs ollowing this documentation ? Capture a debug information from /e/OS

You can then send the logs here: jonathan.klee@e.email
