I'm currently looking to develop an open source app that can help somebody. I'm currently out of ideas, so I'd like to heard if from you guys.

Sorry if it seems to lazy to ask for ideas like that, I just thought that I could do it since the result will be a free app.

My philosophy is if I can use a web page for it, I won't install an app (couple of exceptions, but a good rule). Less convenient, more secure.

As KMFDM have it, "Those who sacrifice liberty for security Deserve neither and will lose both"

Unfortunately in some countries web banking apps are not allowed afaik. Very good answer though

My bank uses the app to auth logins to website bank.

So, if you don't have an Apple/Android device (and the app installed), you just can't use web-banking? That's pretty crazy!

yes, that is pretty much it. all actions, including logins need to be done with 2-factor authentication, which means Google Play Store.
