This hasn't been an issue in years.

I have a bank app. It's simple and works. Before that, they had a website. It's easy to check a balance in the morning and use that to guide you.

Before the internet was widespread, banks had a number you could call to get your balance. Heck, I think my current bank still has this, despite me being in a different country now.

Once you are in a situation where these aren't as helpful, you are probably in a bad life situation (speaking both from experience and observation of folks I know).
