I'm looking for people working at a bank in Europe who are interested in #EthicalTech and who would be interested to help us ensure that banking apps function well on European operating systems. Do you know anyone who might be interested? Please reach out to me via DM! #DigitalSovereignty #banking #FairTech #banks #finance #tech #buyEU #DMA #DSA #SocEnt #EUtech #Revolut #bunq #Curve #WERO #IDEAL #ING #ABNAMRO #ASN #Triodos #Rabobank #UBS #HSBC #BNP #Paribas #N26 #Wise #Qonto #BNP #Paribas

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social What about Sailfish OS, which is the most used European mobile OS not based on Android.

  • @rikviergever@mastodon.social a quick scan with PCAPDroid shows that the new #Triodos app only connects to ecb.europa.eu and api.triodos.com So far so good. I run Android 16 with all google services, including play services disabled and blocked.

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social There is this maintained list of banking apps compatible with @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social (security-oriented Android fork) (cf. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/). Some devs behind the Norwegian BankID (essential ID confirmation app in Norway) are approving of GrapheneOS (cf. https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report/issues/255#issuecomment-2975599573)

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social I don’t have any contacts at banks, but I started thinking, could this be solved through accessibility requirements? In Finland you would contact this authority in that case. https://saavutettavuusvaatimukset.fi/en

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social I'm not at liberty to get involved but often it's a RASP library maintained by a 3rd party that gives the grief. They're used in the best intent, security *really* matters for a banking app (not only for customer impacts but regulatory consequences) so I get why it's in place. But it really makes it functionally challenging for a key service for many not to be reliable on alternative OSs. Would love to see an open, secure enough, option AND a route for encourage backs onto it.

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social I don't know anybody personally, but I would contact the german GLS bank, which is an socially and ecologically ethical bank. So they might be interrested also to be it digitally. And present on Mastodon 😉 @glsbank@ruhr.social

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social I know it's a weird thing to ask, but you should create a LinkedIn post about this, as most relevant people are over there. I'd be happy to share too to my many bank IT peers (if the damn thing allows me to log in...).

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social totally agree! Good initiative, although I don't know how I personally can contitrubute, I am curious to hear if you were also considering Contactless/NFC payments in the equation. Most banks stopped their own implementation and went full on Google(/Apple) Pay. Quite har(/currently impossible) to find a non-big-tech & European alternative. Just found out that Curve uses an Identity provider that was purchased by an US based company.

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social Actually the banking apps i have to use never had problems with Lineage, AOSP-Roms and GrapheneOS. I'm with the Raiffeisenbank, their Online-Banking-App works well as does the TAN-App. The Umweltbank-App also works without a hassle. Only one App refused to work because the OS is "not certified by google", and that is the TeleDoc-App of my health insurance TK.

    @rikviergever@mastodon.social This is super important! The only thing that stops me from moving to /e/OS is compatibility of critical apps in Belgium (banking, gov, etc.)
