How crucial are banking apps? Your experience with them vs. browser banking?
Banking apps seem to be a motif among things that don't play well with privacy ROMs. My bank's website does everything I could want out of it. I think I might be ignorant to something.
- What about banking apps is especially compelling?
- How often do banks put must-have features behind an app?
- And should I be concerned that banks might move away from offering services through browsers?

Cashing checks and zelle are the big ones
Zelle is sketchy even when compared to other cash transfer apps. They do a lot of freezing people's money. Don't use them if you have any other option.
I use Zelle almost exclusively for my business and I have never had an issue with it.
Do you have some examples?
Same here, mobile check deposit and Zelle are literally the only things I've ever needed a bank app for.
I used to never use Zelle for anything but too many friends/family want to use some sort of app for exchanging money & that's usually what we settle on. And my old landlord wanted rent paid via Zelle so that was another thing that forced me to install a bank app for Zelle purposes.
Mobile check deposit is a requirement when dealing with a bank without any locations nearby. In practice I only need to use that once a year or so, checks are kind of rare nowadays unless you're a business owner with clients/customers paying with checks.
For some banks, like Ally, you don't need the app to transact in Zelle. But yeah, I must have one for check-depositing.
