Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.

Anyways just wanted to share.

    What do they do if you don’t have a smartphone? Or was this an account that you could only open in-app?

      I believe it’s possible to buy a physical device that uses your debit card and a PIN to generate your TANs. The process is cumbersome though. I’d rather use their app (which works without Google services, thankfully).

        Oh the card readers? I’ve got about 5 of them, every bank used to give you one when you opened an account. Supposedly they’re pretty secure, too.

          They are very secure because they cant connect to the internet and you need your physical card and PIN. But I want to be able to perform transactions when im not at home while not carrying my card and reader everywhere.
