Do you actually have to open the banking app? Or is it one of those TOTP codes? Because if it's a TOTP code, you can use any password manager, including keypass xc on Linux.
If they force you to use the app, switch banks.
It's likely that the smaller the bank is, the less likely it is to be doing this. So maybe a local bank over a national bank or maybe an older bank that's been around for a lot longer instead of a neo bank.
When I switched banks, I went from a NeoBank to a bank that has been established for quite a while because it has older technology.
