Hi,
This is my first post here, even though I’ve been following/reading Privacy Guides for a few years 
Since the problems I ever more experienced lately with Revolut, I was wondering if anybody here knows any good banking app/website, which allows its webapp/website to be used independently from the smartphone app. I know that many not online/digital-first banks offer this, but they are often present tricky issues with the with their rather long and slow procedures and so on. I know about the GrapheneOS compatibility list and some possible suggestions from it; such as N26. But, the problem with N26 (even though, at the moment its app doesn’t yet show problems when not using stock Android), is that its webapp depends strictly on the smartphone’s app, potentially recreating the same problematic vicious circle like Revolut, that whenever you have problems with the smartphone’s app, the webapp becomes practically useless..
I could cite some examples/experiences like the one I had with N26, as you can imagine, I guess. But you get the picture, I think.
So, without becoming too long: any advice/experience to share?
Thanks a lot!

Call your bank and complaint. Say you don’t want to download their app and the website doesn’t work. Ask if there’s any solution.
That’s what I did in the past and it worked. It also depends on where you are located.

I believe that Wise can work with the website only. Aside from that, their website is very good. Their app work on GOS without any problem.

You can’t really call Revolut as far as I know. Anyway, any kind of communication with them felt completely useless. They are good in summarising what has been discussed until now and tell that they understand your problem, for then simply putting you in a loophole, in which the same informations are asked over and over again from different persons and as you apparently proceed forward everything practically restarts. Since this kind of mentality and customer approach plagued them, I think even having the possibility to call them wouldn’t change much. I stopped using them, but I had to do everything on my own through their app and borrowing a phone with stock Android.. their support is just a bait to get gaslighted.
It might be useful to go in person in one of their legal offices though and rise a little mess… I would have probably done it, if I was living in any of the countries they have their legal offices in.

Yeah, that seems to be decent option so far. Although their support is a big hit and miss, for the time being, it seems a little more honest than Revolut’s.
