My bank supports both SMS and push notification for 2FA. Also PIN code in an app is probably local and doesn't protect from a kernel exploit. I hope you do not keep too much money in the bank.

I think the in-app PIN code and/or biometric ID is merely a convenience to avoid typing your password all the time. I’ve never used a banking app that doesn’t offer both, and then ask for your real login details every now and then.

As a stay-at-home dad: my bank account is indeed not worth attacking.
