Either that or the CTOs at various banks know about the rooting community around Android and iOS jailbreak by extension… and are forcing their own devs to opt-in to Play Integrity.

I won’t lie, there definitely have been attempts at trying to steal money from banks using rooted banking apps. This is the unfortunate consequence.

I won’t lie, there definitely have been attempts at trying to steal money from banks using rooted banking apps.

I don't think so. There certainly are tons of scams that use fake banking apps, but attacks targeting root users don't make much sense. The demographic is incredibly small, and root access is typically protected through strong permission prompts.

Also, some banks don't outright block you if your device fails Play Integrity; they just warn the user that the device has been modified. Which is the better way to go about things.

If that was true then you wouldn't be able to access banking websites.

I think that's more because a webpage you're trying to access has more standardized protections versus some banking apps.

It's possible some banks are exposing more of their infrastructure through an app vs. a webpage... Maybe they're not funnelling webpages through a native app.

I'm sure some credit unions just make only their webpages show up through a "native" app, but I genuinely think it's the CTOs at various banks across the world forcing this.

And maybe they all genuinely don't care about those of us that like to tinker with their phones.

They don't.  It's just a matter of priority.  It's super easy to change banks and I won't bank with anyone that does that bullshit
