For those that are looking to install GrapheneOS and want to ensure that their banking apps work as intended, here is a curated list with app compability status per country.
Each entry also lists required settings, profile and whether they need access to Google Play services, among other details.
Update on 2024-12-23: The following site is a great resource as well, it provides details on MFA support for various services grouped by country (not only banking): https://2fa.directory/
Thank you @jagged_circle@feddit.nl for the suggestion!

Graphene is Android. Why would a bank’s app not work? @TheHobbyist@lemmy.zip suggests that some banks proactively detect and block Graphene, while other banks’ apps simply accidentally fail on Graphene. Is accidental incompatibility really a notable issue on Graphene?
Some apps will rely on Google services to determine whether they are running on a “secure” device (ie determined by Google). This is refered to as hardware attestation. But there is a Google version of it and a generic version of it (which is implemented in GrapheneOS). If the bank relies on the Google version, it will fail on GrapheneOS, despite actually having hardware attestation.
