Regarding critically typically apps do warn you when it’s the case, including financial apps. Usually if it’s truly critical they’ll stop working until you do update.
Typically these notifications are there to let you know that your app is terribly outdated and about to run into a breaking change (incompatibility between app and web-backend), not for security issues. I think it’s very ill-advised to wait for something like that to happen, but you do you.

Banks sole business is making money by managing others people money though I do imagine that they estimate that whatever they put online is safe enough and insured enough not be pragmatically speaking creating any risk for their consume. I imagine, and maybe naively so, that it’s a well enough regulated business so that if “shit happens” it’s on the bank to cover, not the customer.
