   I know this is a stupid question even before I ask it, but is there any chance at this point of seeing something out of the scope of Apple and Google for mobile?? Will the bank apps ever allow people out of these two players

      You're free to make one, and bank apps are often less locked down than you think - try them yourself instead of accepting possible FUD. Also your bank 100% has a checkbox on your account they can click to disable any phone hardware requirements on your account.

         I was going to thank you. I still thank you if this is true.

         How do you know about the bank checkbox?

         My bank is huge and I’m skeptical they give a crap about me any more than Google. Their app certainly doesn’t look like it.

         (I noticed your account has been posting a lot of what I consider to be “garbage comments” in this article, so I’d like some kind of claim to fact check.)

            I know that because of all the reports of people going to their bank and complaining the app won't work on their phone, then getting it fixed.
