Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of ‘non-google’ approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.
Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that’s true or not…
I’m saying use another bank that doesn’t block security hardened phones. Or one that doesn’t require a phone at all.
More than half of the world sends money without bank accounts. How varies by region, but its usually a local company (usually mobile telecom companies) or an international remittances company, or cryptocurrencies
I personally use ATMs to send money. And if I were willing to resolve cert troubles (long story), I would’ve used the bank’s website rather than the app.
I can’t imagine using either of those solutions every day, sometimes several times per day.
I made 3 transfers yesterday, but there have been days of 10-20 transfers and I don’t always have them planned, often it’s pretty spontaneous when we buy used things from other people, particularly strangers.
Yeah, I transfer money not so regularly so I get why it wouldn’t work for everyone. But why not use the website?
Website requires login every time, apps for most banks here have biometrics for transfers under a certain limit or people you send money to often.
