I'd like to remove Google from my life as much as possible and the final step is to install an alternative OS onto my phone (either LineageOS or GrapheneOS). I've seen many suggestions to switch communication apps such as WhatsApp out for Signal, however I've not seen much discussion around banking apps. Many banks tend to have their own proprietary apps, with many important (verifying transactions/login attempts, acting as "security keys") and convenient (viewing transaction history quickly) features. I know some banks offer physical "security keys" which can replace the app but this does not apply to every bank, with some only offering their core services through the app and a stripped back version on web/desktop.

Have you experienced anything similar? What have you done to get around this? If I can't find an alternative method to access these utilities I'll probably just bite the bullet and keep Google around for a little while longer (or until I can switch to a bank that offers a web-only experience - tangentially, are their any banks like this?).

Thank you for your time!
