I would change banks over that and list that as the reason why.
My banking app has a "is calling?" button, which is pretty neat. The button is highlighted whenever I open the banking app whilst on a phone call, presumably as a subtle anti-scammer warning.
e: spelling
My bank has the inverse as well. If i open the app while on a call there's a huge banner across the top stating they are not calling me.
The Swedish banks has a shared identification app, and it gives a big alert every time a login is prompted asking if you called out or got called, and doesn't let some actions complete if you say you got called
Damn cool. Which bank, if you don't mind me asking?
I think this is very common for UK Banks
Alas I'm just a poor slob in the former colony called the United States, presently run by an idiot wannabe dictator.
This is honestly a really good idea.
