I switched to /e/ rather recently, and it also just happen that I am in the process of switching banks, which means I currently have two banking apps on my phone.

Both are rather strict on having a clean, non rooted, non modified phone. Currently, they both work without any caveats, but I had to install magisk, add them to magisk hide, and use the magisk renaming feature to have them work.

I recently had a bank detect Magisk Hide. Since on principle, I don't think it's their business what I do with my phone, especially once added Magisk Hide, I went into my branch, told them just that and asked for everything in cash to move to a different bank. These are the same banks that only have SMS for 2FA and it's required.
I also ironically had to install Magisk on my previously unrooted LineageOS phone in order to convince a bank app my phone is not rooted.
