Choose a bank with viable web banking.

It's called a debit/credit card.

Saying 'don't use those things' is not a viable solution. It's like when I was trying to move to linux a couple years ago I asked for help getting HiDPI/scaling to work and there were many responses saying 'who needs that?'

There are five options in my country, 3 of which require app push based 2FA to log into the web interface and 2 of which only have an app interfere.

Maybe I could get a EU bank from another EU country but my employer will not accept an out of country account for salary deposits because it makes their tax life difficult and my mortgage provider doesn't trust foreign accounts either.

> It's called a debit/credit card

Since about two years ago, activating a card requires the app.

I do not doubt this is happening, but it is forbidden under SEPA. All IBANs, no matter from which member country, must be treated equally. Unfortunately, "IBAN discrimination" happens quite frequently still. The European commission recommends filing a complaint with your national governing body.

Your employer's tax obligations should depend on where you live and where they live and where the work happens, not where your bank account is.

so Eire has 5 significant banks, and 15 'less significant'. There are also 276 Credit Unions, I don't know if they are useful. (I had a Credit Union account in the past, could send/receive online but no payment card)

(I don't know their suitability, but there are more than 5 options in your country)

Most people don’t want to rearrange their life around what their phone can’t do.

they will have to when Android closes down

If you are a normal human being who doesn't enjoy suffering, you'll give up the idea of doing web bank on a mobile phone.
