Might someone know whether banking apps worldwide will work?

  This site tracks the status of what apps work: <a href="https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/" rel="nofollow">https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa...
  The official GrapheneOS docs contains a developer guide on how to fix banking apps when they are not working. Bank app developers have been surprisingly receptive to making the changes, weirdly enough. You can see in some of the issues tracked on the site where people reached out and the developers eventually made the apps work.
  I've been running GrapheneOS for a while (I have posts on the blog in my bio if you want to see some day-to-day info) and only one bank app gave me trouble. I had to toggle a setting and then everything worked.
  Separate from this is wallet and payment apps which still have not had much traction on GrapheneOS.

    I was also surprised by the banking app experience. After making me verify my identity about 10 times to prove I'm me and not a hacker, they finally let me use it...
    I've heard some people had good results by going to their bank branch and demanding them to unblock their phone or they'll close their account. Apparently they have a checkbox to disable phone attestation requirements for a customer.
