Dutch bank ASN blocks non-Google Android phones

Original: Dutch 'idealist' bank ASN blocks non-Google Android, including GrapheneOS

ASN Bank, a Dutch bank known for its ethical and sustainable profile, is blocking access to its banking app on Android devices that do not run certified Google software, including privacy-focused GrapheneOS. The move has drawn criticism, particularly since the bank markets itself as idealist, with users arguing that privacy-conscious customers are being excluded from banking services for their software choices.

Why now: Critics find it contradictory that a bank branding itself as ethical and idealist is locking out privacy-conscious Android users
