It's even better than that. Banks (for example Revolut) consider several years old phones, running ancient OS (last I checked they allowed A10) without security updates for some 7 years, so riddled with zero-click/RCE vulnerabilities, but they do not allow GrapheneOS, which is currently the safest OS in mobiles (on par/beating iOS, depending whom you ask).

Yes, banks* claim phones riddled with maximum severity security issues are secure. Also phones that are rooted but using magisk modules to conceal this fact, and use spoofed signatures from ancient hardware, but the most safe platform is not secure enough for them.

Go figure.

*not all, there are notable exceptions explicitly supporting secure platforms through the modern Hardware Attestation model.

These are the same banks that very often have no app-based MFA login, and refuse to do anything other than send me an SMS TOTP.

The irony is that they'd rather suffer losses from fraud if the fraud is less than the cost of setting up App-based TOTP and a campaign to get customers to use the app. Yet they suddenly get all in a huff about PCI compliance as CYA so they don't have to pay an app developer to figure out how to check "is phone rooted? Yes. Which OS?"
