Banking applications do "security" checks on lauch to check your phone for signs of rooting. I doubt very many banking apps will run in an emulator. To be clear, I am speculating.

Yes, they might not like it, although I wonder if Anbox might have a non-rooted version that works just like non-rooted Android.

Also, banking is one of those things where in 95% of the cases you probably don't need an app because they all have web portals (although, I know some banks don't let you deposit checks remotely without an app, so that is an issue).
