Like an asshole, I scrolled down to USA with hope in my heart. Le sigh. Spoiler alert, if you're US the simple answer is no, unfortunately.

As in, the banking app won't work, or you can't get a jolla phone in the US?

as in there are are only two banking apps that work in the US on SailfishOS, so unless you use IBKR or Santander you are out of luck? I mean i consult with a firm with an HSBC account, so i've got an HSBC app on my phone (so's i can log in and fix their payroll) and the firm does all their business (with an occasional exception) in California. But i just have a cheap google phone and i haven't rooted a phone since my galaxy s3. i got bored with customizing my phone. moved onto another hyperfocus

Thank you for that very helpful link!
I'm looking forward to receiving my Jolla phone in Q3 this year.

I'm hoping that most of the apps/services I rely on will work one way or another. I'm ok with using a browser instead of an app if that's what it takes.

Many websites are designed for mobile, I read that there is some technology that can make those work ”app-like” in the phone but it’s not well implemented in SailfishOS.

I lmagine would solve a lot of hassles going forward.

This was initially my problem getting away from ios or android.

but these days im considering a different bank entirely that doesnt require an app in the first place

For me, it's not that some banks require a mobile app, because they don't. Why I like to use the mobile banking apps is because of PUSH notifications for transactions and for approval (like 3DS). I could use the mobile websites, but then I would need to drop down to SMS confirmation which is less convenient and less secure as well.

Using your banks website, rather than their app may be a solution. Although, it may be a compromise.

That only works if your banking app isn't the second factor authentication. In my case before I can access the desktop website (or any other action) I need to approve the login using the app.

Well, if the company that you allow to hold your money insists that you must use their approved tracking device, most people do seem to be OK with that.

I use Graphene OS and my bank's app works fine.

Not just banking, but also other apps like government login apps such as the Danish MitID or dutch DigiD. I doubt those work :/
