I’m using proton services and now the Pass password manager as well. I never let any managers save my bank data such as credit cards or login credentials being sort of afraid to.

Is this concern still valid? when using a manager like Proton Pass that has e2e encryption? what’s your opinion on holding bank data in managers like this?

that is a true concern. however in this case I have a good feature provided by my bank provider, where I can create a virtual-only card, to which I send a fixed balance amount, like $100 and that is all that card have - even tho my account may be at $1000. so given this and the e2e encryption, I guess its probably safe to store - at least the virtual cards
