A lot of banking apps in europa don't work on rooted phones, so that is not an option.

No problem with Magisk, been using banking apps on rooted phones for years

Fortunately you can use magisk to hide the rooted status from most apps. At least in Finland, I have had no problems with Nordea or Danske Bank. I remember that some app was troublesome, but I think I figured that one out also eventually.

Magisk (latest release) + Universel SafetyNet Fix v2.4.0-MOD_1.2 (kdrag0n github) + add the apps to the zygist deny list + rename magisk manager. → does the job for me.

Rightfully so. I don't think rooting a phone is a save option for banking purposes. I use my PC for that
