Your phone (Android or iOS) is probably more secure than your desktop when it comes to accessing bank or email. It's more hardened and locked down.

My phone has a large amount of software written and installed by Google and by Xiaomi, both of which I absolutely don't trust; and it also has software which I do trust - but trust to spy on me, like Meta's WhatsApp...
To be honest - as an older-phone user, that's part of why I never access email on my phone, nor my bank account. I see my phone as something that's basically insecure, and take into account (no pun intended) the possibility that other people will be able to access its contents.
I realize, though, that many old phone users don't hold this view necessarily.
