I just got a message on my app forcing me to agree to let the app look at when I scroll and scan what apps I have on my phone, in the name of "preventing hackers" which kinda sucks. Any banks that actually respect your privacy in Australia? or does anyone have tips to make banking more private?

Yes I know graphene-os has sandboxing, no I'm not buying a new phone.
