as it stands right now, there is no clear benefit for me when it comes between choosing to bank on my browser vs just using the app while yea it does offer some fingerprinting resistance, I’d be still exposing my real IP address, otherwise the bank would flag any other IP address I’m using and will require me to verify myself.
I opted to run my banking apps in a separate profile without hiding behind anything while kewping my other profiles separate and behind proxies

Assuming your bank already has all of your information, what’s the problem with them knowing your IP? And how often do you need to use your banking app? Could you connect from a local free WiFi network from a library or something?
