        Hi.

        I refer to this bank account: https://n26.com/en-eu. It looks like an app is mandatory AFAICT. I'd like a N26 account and use it only from my Desktop PC.

        Edit: Would this suffice? https://open-store.io/app/n26.thefeijoo97 (pity it's proprietary and not in English)

        Thanks.

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

            According to the description in the OpenStore you'd still need an Android or iOS device registered to the account.

              Thank you, @arubislander.

                  Are the N26 (also Revolut) apps open-source?

                    @opolork I would say no (N26), they only have some snippets published on Github but not the full app:

                      @h_b Ok, thanks. Hopefully both will one day get open-sourced.

                        And what about Comdirect PhotoTan?

                        (and I think a similar situation for DKB)

                        The base app also works without SIM and without net (like a "token" generator)

                          @flaviomala, This is an Android and iOS app, which probably communicates with the bank's servers via non open API"s. There isn't even a(n) (web)app for this in the OpenStore. And I doubt we will be seeing a version for Ubuntu Touch anytime soon.

                          Banking apps in general will be an issue until there is a critical mass of users achieved.
