Banking Applications Compatibility with GrapheneOS
privsec.dev
Maintained Compatibility List for International Banking Apps This list includes banking apps that have been tested, submitted, reviewed, and verified as compatible. LIST | SUBMIT | UPDATE | POSSIBLE WORKAROUND SOLUTIONS Introduction Welcome to the crowd-sourced dataset for GrapheneOS users on currently supported devices. New visitors are encouraged to read the official usage guide on banking apps for comprehensive details about how these apps function on GrapheneOS. IMPORTANT Please read GrapheneOS’s important announcement, officially released on Dec 1, 2023:

For those that are looking to install GrapheneOS and want to ensure that their banking apps work as intended, here is a curated list with app compability status per country.

Each entry also lists required settings, profile and whether they need access to Google Play services, among other details.

Update on 2024-12-23: The following site is a great resource as well, it provides details on MFA support for various services grouped by country (not only banking): https://2fa.directory/

Thank you @jagged_circle@feddit.nl for the suggestion!

    Graphene is Android. Why would a bank’s app not work? @TheHobbyist@lemmy.zip suggests that some banks proactively detect and block Graphene, while other banks’ apps simply accidentally fail on Graphene. Is accidental incompatibility really a notable issue on Graphene?

      I believe it’s usually that they attempt to use some of the parts in the Google Play framework that is (currently) not fully supported by the Google compability layer in GrapheneOS, but the developers does an amazing job on trying to keep up with stock AOSP changes and make apps work equally good as on a stock Google image.

      That, and sometimes just checking whether the phone is running an image signed by Google and refuses to run if not.

      Personally, I’ve only had issues with one app, and that’s Pushover (a push notification service). It tries to use Google Play for notifications and I refuse to install that for this single app.

      Some apps will rely on Google services to determine whether they are running on a “secure” device (ie determined by Google). This is refered to as hardware attestation. But there is a Google version of it and a generic version of it (which is implemented in GrapheneOS). If the bank relies on the Google version, it will fail on GrapheneOS, despite actually having hardware attestation.
