True. I guess they have to go through Apple's app store anyway, but they could offer the APK on their website.
On the other hand, I can set up a recurring payment, for free, from one account to a different account, at a different bank. In the US, my bank sends a check. Per snail-mail.
(Also: photoTAN is great. Could please all banks do that if they need an app anyway?)
Germany, the country of data protection, and yet their banks force you to use Google/Apple.
Oh sure, I can use terminals or pay money for a hardware device whose manufacturer has an exclusive contract with the bank, but this is absurd considering all they'd have to do is provide a channel for getting the APK straight from their own servers instead of through Google.
...or at least give me an SHA256 of the APK, so I can really be sure that when I use a 3rd party app to download it, I'm not getting a Trojan or something.
