Banking apps are the worst. They make us switch on notifications, else we can't get any confirmation notices for us to confirm transactions, then they proceed to spam me with credit card offers and other rubbish I'm not interested in receiving.

If any app does this, I revoke its push permissions (sometimes after very briefly checking if it has a “no marketing pushes” option). If that makes the app unusable, it goes to the trash. There’s more than one bank.
This is especially annoying when they don't use different notification channels so I can't turn off individual types of notifications.
Fortunately, Android has notification groups. You can disable notification for certain groups such as promotional notification.
Just turn on SMS notifications of any transactions on the account and disable any "app" notifications.
What bank does this? I’m not getting any marketing spam from Chase or C1.
