As a Norwegian I’m required to use an app called BankID to log into various government services and banks. And that one does not run on «non secure» OSes

Although that might change with the whole EU pushing for open source etc

Both Bank-ID and Vipps works great on eOS. As does Bulder and Nordnet. The only one I need website for is DNB.

But yeah, the biggest problem with Linux phones are defiantly Bank-ID. Closely followed by Vipps.

The DnB part is annoying, since they actively update their app to work on Graphene.
