No bank in my country has an app that works with those, so it's not an option for me anymore.

Have yoz really checked for GrapheneOS? Which country?

Is using a cheap Android device (the cheapest Android phones are less than $100 on Amazon) an option? The idea is to use that phone for 2FA or whatever is app is necessary for, and use a degoogled device for your other day-to-day activities. It's not ideal because you need to spend some extra money, but it buys you a lot of privacy.

Does the web app for the bank actually selectively block mobile phones? I just checked and Chase here in the US lets me log in on Brave Mobile on iOS. Perhaps your bank lets you log on in the browser.

My understanding (I'm in the US too) is that apps in many other countries don't even have a web app equivalent. If you want your money, you need an authentic android phone and a closed-source app. Or, you can buy a plane ticket somewhere else.
