I refuse to use Google's services. They are not a bank, they're an advertising company who's major goal includes knowing everything about everyone. They can fuck off. I agree, the banks need their own apps so we're not beholden to a foreign surveillance corporation to use contact-less phone based transactions.

Yeah, I'm on a de-Googling journey myself right now. It's not easy, as I (naively, maaaany years ago) hosted my domain on Gsuite, so getting everything out without disruption is (intentionally, on Google's part) difficult.

I really need to just sit down, map out everything I still have with them, and work out the right order of execution to unpick everything. It's a real PITA.
