In France, I have 3 different banking apps that works totally fine with eos. I don’t know if it would apply to your case, but it might be worth the shot
The tech producer in general, never cares about the environment, unless it’s for cost cutting, then they engage in virtue signalling to mask the cost cutting (i.e. not including chargers with a phone).
Yet, when the conversation about e-waste comes up, the producer shifts the blame on the buyer for buying too many devices, instead of the producer designing them to become e-waste. If devices where built to be repairable/repurposable, or at least recycled, it would greatly affect e-waste, but they would risk lower earnings.
In the few instances where a brand delivers a product that is both prestigious and (relatively) too good/lasting to effectively obsolete it at will, then they offer a turn-in service where you send back the old device and get a discount for the new one. This both busts fidelisation and raises prices on the used market, encouraging buying the new device. (I.e. iPhones, vorwerk vacuums).
Always mind the pattern. You will be less manipulatable.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a situation where the environmentalist and the phone seller were the same person.
Not environmentalist, I think it’s referring to the typical shift of the blame on the consumer.
Fairphone?
most likely my next phone, i think going all the way to eos might be too far as im pretty sure my banking apps won’t work

Depending on your use case, the bank’s website might be an alternative.
