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 use Commonwealth Bank. It works fine on GrapheneOS, no popups.
You could always just use the browser version of the banking app.
Bank Australia is the bank you should probably use, regardless of the app situation, since it’s not for-profit (I haven’t switched because I’m waiting for Visa and Mastercard to differentiate themselves on censorship (not that I actually care about the issue)).
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.
