My phone is as Degoogled as I could get it with Lineage, & I don't use any banking apps on mobile, so I can't give too much info there. For 2 factor Auth Apps, I use the Proton one and ~~it works a treat!~~
Edit: Blerg!!! I have been having issues with the Proton Authenticator, You need Gapps or MicroG to get it to work properly.
Edit 2: Aegis works
Oh that's great!
It looks cool and I wish I could switch, but No financial apps No nfc payments No android auto No RCS Desktop mode?
It's all about usage and what you are willing to give up. I never had any use for those things beforehand and I value my privacy more if I did. So it was an easy choice.
