I just got a message on my app forcing me to agree to let the app look at when I scroll and scan what apps I have on my phone, in the name of “preventing hackers” which kinda sucks. Any banks that actually respect your privacy in Australia? or does anyone have tips to make banking more private?

Yes I know graphene-os has sandboxing, no I’m not buying a new phone.

I’m using Bank Australia with GrapheneOS and it works well. Does the Comm Banks builtin tap and pay work on GrapheneOS at all? Assuming they still have their own version, I haven’t been with them in a while.

Yes, works on mine. At least it did when I used it a couple months ago. I prefer to use cash.

Macquarie is also good on graphene but no tap to pay

Wouldn’t know. I don’t use tap and pay. I just use my card.
