I can't do online shopping without accepting a notification on my bank's app. That's not "social media and chat apps".

Can't you set it back to sending you a text with a code to input back? That's what I'm doing with my bank, my dumbphone is on its way.

I have no actual idea, but I don't think so as it's an "online" bank where you set up the account on the mobile app. There's no other way to set up an account with this bank.

Oh. Here in France, even online banks still have web apps.

Anyway the assumption that every user has a smartphone is now very prevalent and it's going to get harder and harder to not have one, but I really want to go against the trend.

Yes, web apps, yes. But to confirm online payments you usually need the app. That's true at least of N26.
