Neil Brown [@[email protected]] discovered that HSBC blocks app access if it detects you’re using F-Droid, an open-source app store, Saw thread on HackerNews
I already have issues with HSBC.
They pulled out of Canada, and opening a remote account with Linux has been a nightmare since their KYC verification keeps failing. But that’s another story.
I’m mainly signal-boosting this discovery. If you know of FOSS-friendly banking alternatives, please comment on Cyberia.BZ or reply on Mastodon I’m looking for options myself.
