I had to do a government ID upload and a live face scan to install my banking app on a new phone even though I had other devices I could have used to authorize it. It made me want to switch banks, but where do you go?

Jesus fucking Christ this is bleak. You should not have to do this. If your bank allows a browser log in just use that.

DO NOT trust financial institutions with your data. They WILL leak it. Its only a matter of time.
