      Talk to your bank and demand them to disable SafetyNet. You own your phone and by doing this they are trying to protect you from yourself.

      My bank app works I think one credit card app displayed warning that my phone is rooted but still let me use it. Your banking app should not block you, but it can warn you if they less feel better.

          If you don’t contact them and continue to use the back there is zero motivation for them to change anything.

          I hear this pathetic argument over and over again. It is primarily used in politics. “my senator/representative is republican, he won’t listen” maybe he won’t but the others that already agree with you, don’t require convincing, your congressman does though so that’s why you need to have your opinion heard.

          Unlike with politician, a bank is much easier to change for an individual. You can send email to them, threatening to change and if they refuse, you follow on it (worst case you go to bank that doesn’t do this). You would be surprised how effective this might be when it is connected in any way to their revenue. In most cases the management might not even be aware of the issue and devs simply enabled it because they were told the app needs to be secure, and checking phone integrity sounds like a secure thing to do.

      I mean they successfully destroyed any possibility to use banking apps in custom roms like LineageOS, with their new Play Integrity

      This is a consequence of the security standards banks (and credit card companies) need to follow, not Google doing.
