ok. I'd like to close my account.

I bet when you get a new phone and reinstall the app and login, it asks you to answer the prompt in the (previous) app. MS Authenticator did that to me yesterday.

easier to switch banks than sign up for a new app tbh

Remember: if you leave your bank for this reason, make it known to them and to your friend circle. Encourage them to move to wherever you end up, and tell the bank why. Let's make a pointless stink about it as we get our friends to safety.

I'd change banks but I wouldn't be using a bank to start with. Co-op credit union or GTFO.

The irony is that the app will just be a wrapper for a webview, with extra data harvesting.

The day my bank does that, they have at least one customer less 🤷

Time to leave that bank. Hopefully to a credit union

I don't do any banking via an app. It's only from my desktop, never my phone. If they required an app, I'd change banks.

The app my bank wants me to use is no longer supported on my older phone model. So I'm closing my account with them. Fuck em.

Mine did that years ago. But when you change your address, you have to go to the webpage, which tells you to use the app, which only links to the webpage, which opens the app...

Anyway, I had to ring them.

Then discontinue the bank.

time to switch banks

How else would they monetize your data? You need to think of the poor banks!

I believe that this is going to be the standard- like it or not.

Official apps are promoted by many security experts as they are a lot safer than the website.

Some kind of regulation should still be applied crucial banking software shouldn’t be spying software also.
