Different countries have different systems. In Sweden, our "banking app" is not really for doing bank tasks, it's everywhere in society as a 2FA app. Buying a bus ticket, booking a medical appointment, paying bills, logging in to various government and non-government web sites, signing a contract, etc. They all use the banking 2FA app. It's really really difficult to have a normal life without this app.
It does not require Play Integrity though... yet.
True. I was more talking about "banking apps" being more than seeing the balance of my accounts in a web browser instead of using their app. BankID is used for much more than that.
This also works in abrowser. At least in Finland.
Then we have different systems. How do you prove that you are you online in Finland? Do you use usernames+passwords or some 2FA ID system?
The system works through a series of redirects. Say if I have to prove my identity to some government website, it offers different authentication methods, one of which is my bank. I 2F authenticate with my bank the way we agreed, then it redirects me back to the originating site.
Different banks offer different systems for 2FA. Most also offer an app. Google services are not always required. If you don't want to use an app, there are ways; in addition to username/password, usually a SMS for strong auth, or some code from a database that I have for weak auth.
No app, OS-independent.
If my bank forced my to use an app that only works with google services, I'd change banks. As I did, actually.
