Does your bank have a Linux application? Of course not, you're using the website. So why not use the website on your phone?
Most of the mobile sites I visited seemed to have only one goal, to get you to use the app and the mobile interface is often so bad that you'd better use the app
many banks require use of the app, regardless
And desktop mode doesn't help?
i need to app for proprietary 2fa.
Ah. That'll do it.
In the EU you have to verify your identity every time you log into your bank. You either need a physical token or you can use a mobile app to verify it's really you
No, you don't. That's your bank or maybe an Italy thing, but I can login without providing anything beyond my username and password. I do need to use an app to authorise transactions, but not for logging in and viewing my account balance or transaction history, pending transfers, etc.
If you don't have a smart phone, how are you going to use a mobile website?
Why do I need to use a mobile website? I guess the comment I replied to was meaning they require their app for mobile banking vs browser which I should have realized
The comment is deleted now but it said something like "I'll tell the bank I don't have a smart phone so I can't use the app" implying this would force the bank to allow them to use a mobile website.
What I misunderstood was what the bank required an app for, in my very sick and sleep deprived mind I thought they were saying banks required you to install their app to get service from that bank in any form which I thought was absurd, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Ohhhh, I see. Yeah, that is not the case anywhere I know of. Also, I hope you feel better soon tocopherol
Mobile web interfaces for banks are complete shit, and often can't be circumvented.
