My banking app won’t work if I’m rooted and before that when I had developer mode on it wouldn’t work. Just gave me a error so I have the login to Firefox each time. I hate apps that block you because they can’t track you anymore
Banks that do this are just ignorant and hypocritical. Those same banks will let you log in from a web browser on the phone that is just as (un)likely to be compromised or from a desktop computer where you also have admin rights.
There is no additional security to be gained by a random megacorp that has leaks every other month “attesting” that I can use my things well.
And Google didn’t add attestation to make sure my bank details are safe, it did it as part of a concerted effort from the industry to make sure I am not able to make my computer work as I want it to work and run code I want it to run. Google does not care about bank fraud as long as it doesn’t affect its stock price.
I changed banks partially because of this. Ally bank would fake a “couldn’t connect” error on the first 2 attempts and then succeed on the 3rd attempt. I switched to aspiration bank and their app works perfectly fine.
My bank apps (three different Australian ones) are fine with developer mode, but not root, and not unlocked bootloaders
They block you because the phone can’t “guarantee” it’s not corrupted. Theoretically it’s for your protection as an unlocked bootloader means there’s no local security, you may have used root to install something that breaks their security model
I understand that side loaded apps can also reduce your device integrity score

that’s why chrome added remote attestation and yall threw a fit

There’s magisk hide. Doesn’t always help, but worth the try.
Or just use n26. no such BS on their side.
