    Might someone know whether banking apps worldwide will work?

      Probably not, because of Google attestation, the cancer of Android.

        FWIW the financial institutions I use (all major US brokerages) have no issues with Google attestation, and if they implemented it I'd just move all my assets out to a different one.

        I don't regularly use an actual bank account anymore, the cash management solutions from these brokerages work great and can do everything including direct deposit, payments, wire transfers, and ATM/debit cards, and have SIPC protection in place of FDIC.

          vanguard? I have considered just closing my bank account and having my paycheck direct deposited there

          Some banks are open (well as much as a financial institution can be) to GrapheneOS too. Navy Federal implemented attestation and then rolled it back once they heard from GOS users which was super cool of them and honestly unexpected.

            If they have legal requirements for attestation, they also have the option to properly attest Graphene.

              Yep. Not sure all of them are attesting GrapheneOS, but there's at least 5 banks officially supporting it.
