No google acct here, I use fdroid and the Aurora store. I have no doubt though that google is working on killing the Aurora store. https://news.ycombinator.com

  Do banking apps work normally if downloaded from the aurora store? I'd very much like to fully degoogle my next phone when I get to replacing it, and it's the last stumbling stone

    Absolutely. You should check out the list [1] to see what banking apps are verified working with GrapheneOS. It's worth noting if your banking app isn't on this list it does not mean it will not work.

      I checked a couple of reports relevant to me[1][2], and both explicitly mentions Play was installed and links to the Play store for the app. Can one still assume one can install and operate those apps without Google Play?

    I believe there are reasons this isn't a solution for everybody, but I just use the mobile website. Works for me, and probably a lot of people. I'd rather not have the app on my phone anyway.

      I'm the same. If my bank ever requires me to install an app, I'll change banks.
