are you saying that I could move to /e/OS

collapsed inline media

thats good news.

Health insurance apps are often a mess, but TK app works again since the last update.

Nah, I think a lot of custom ROMs should work, I've long used Lineage and I'm now on Calyx and Triodos (UK) as well as GLS (De) which is using Sparkasse's infrastructure iirc have always worked for me. Never liked e for various reasons (the terrible name being one one of them).

but yeah, /e/OS really doesn't jive with anything, and I always mistake it for elementaryOS.

There is also a dedicated /e/OS community:

I signed ToS at my bank (Komerฤnรญ banka, Sociรฉtรฉ Gรฉnรฉrale) that stated I'm breaching the contract by "using [their services on] IT and mobile equipment with an altered OS (jailbreak, root)". I hid Magisk and they didn't detect anything. The QR scanner and NFC use Google libraries/services so they're broken but it's just an inconvenience. So unofficially, the list will be longer.

Very unexpected to see Polish mBank on the list. That feels really nice thing to know!

anyone knows if the ING Germany apps work?

The German "ING Banking to go" app, found in this list, should work and, according to the description in "App Lounge", has only been renamed to "ING Deutschland".
