I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

I mean, unless there's some alternative that banking apps and such will work on there really isn't much you can do right?

Can't you use a browser for banking? That's what I do.

Or really, I just do my banking on the laptop.

Maybe you can use credit cards for everything but here it would be expected to be able to, at worst, pay with a direct transfer, and you'd need a banking app for that.

Really? You can do that in a web browser here, and never been in a situation where I need to make a bank transfer immediately. Only something like paying an invoice which you usually have weeks to pay.

What is the problem with SEPA? It just works.

I'm not in Europe?

I use hardware TAN generators and browsers. The cards support NFC payments. My banking apps run fine on Lineage OS and GrapheneOS.

Jolla has a Linux OS that supports Android apps. Works for Swedish banking apps, at least.
