Yes, there are. In order to log into Revolut web UI you need to confirm your login through their app.
There are many other examples but so far I didn't find any single banking app which doesn't work on MicroG.
From what I've heard russian Sberbank doesn't work without safetynet though.

I have bank accounts with many banks and all but one require an app. It acts as a security dongle amongst other things.
I made the switch to GrapheneOS recently and its been quite pleasant overall, relative to expectations.
Everything else just works, barring notifications for some apps and things that are obviously Google-oriented (e.g. google camera). Also, location is seriously degraded, because it actually _only_ works with GNSS, as far as I can tell.
I've been making the switch to sites pinned to home screen for things that aren't useful offline (banking, weather) and that's been working well, but largely unnecessary. I just really don't trust Android apps generally.
