I read that if you root your phone, then usage of any banking apps would be problematic, so that seems like a no go.
On the Boldbeast forum there are some phones listed that work, but it seems like this depends on the region the phone comes from. I think I will have to buy a phone, see if it works and if not return. Rinse and repeat... What a nightmare.

You can still use the websites themselves instead of their shitty app-wrapper
Some phone hardware architecture can't let the AP (the Processor running Android) access the call audio (because the audio stream is routed directly from the mic/speaker to the modem). On those no amount of root hacking will allow you to record calls. Nevertheless this is rare nowadays where all the audio goes through an ADSP connected to the AP.
Your best bet is to find a phone manufacturer/vendor that advertise call recording support. Alternatively search on call recording website like [1] which phone they support rooted. [1] https://www.boldbeast.com/android/call_recorder.html
