even venmo mention aside, it's very obvious that's an american or a western european writing that because NA and EU banking sucks balls
> banking/insurance/whatever apps I know banking apps are the typical example, but I've always wondered why. I use my bank's app maybe once or twice a year when I need to Zelle someone, which I only need to do when they don't have Venmo. (Unless we consider Venmo a banking app.) I only have one bank's app installed, the rest of my banks I only interact with over their website, on desktop. As for insurance, I've never had an insurance company's app installed. Am I just an outlier here? Honestly, if I switched to a non standard OS, I'd be more annoyed about losing, say, Google Maps, Uber/Lyft, or various chat apps. Banking and insurance just don't come to mind at all as something I need my phone for.

@halva polish banking is like way ahead of anyone in Europe really
at least that was the case few years ago because eu started doing catchups but it's still way ahead

@jeder yeah like i said, from what ive heard it's not any different from banking in russia and ukraine lmao

most banks here are practically online-only with a heavy emphasis on apps aside from the state bank sber who do have branches because of the tech inept boomer factor
