Dutch bank ASN blocks non-Google Android phones, users say

Original: # Dutch 'idealist' bank ASN blocks non-Google # Android , including # GrapheneOS https:// github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking

ASN Bank, a Dutch bank known for its ethical and idealist branding, is reported to be blocking access from Android devices without Google certification, including privacy-focused systems like GrapheneOS. Customers and privacy advocates are criticising the move, noting the irony of a sustainability-oriented bank locking out de-Googled phones, and compiling compatibility reports of banks restricting alternative Android systems.

Why now: Privacy-conscious users are highlighting the contradiction of an ethical bank excluding secure de-Googled Android devices.
