Real unfortunate news for GrapheneOS users as Revolut has decided to ban the use of 'non-google' approved OSes. This is currently being posted about and updated by GrahpeneOS over at Bluesky for those who want to follow it more closely.

Edit: had to change the title, originally it said Uber too but I cannot find back to the source of ether that's true or not..

I was about to switch bank because for a few days my current one (inadvertently) blocked it on grapheneOS. We sent them a few emails and they fixed in less than a week.

I use a small local credit union that doesn't appear on their supported list. It's literally the only thing holding me back, I'm tempted to say fuck it anyway. But I wonder if it might work anyway...

Flash GrapheneOS
If it works, congratulations! If not, switch banks or revert to stock and return the phone.
