No. You cannot. The digital id I was referring to can be activated only via app, and banking apps are mandatory. You can do web banking paying an additional fee and using sms authentication, but as I said it’s an additional fee. Maybe worth paying for, ymmv.
But the real practical of the digital id is that I will never be (again) fined for driving without a driving license with me because I always have my phone with me. I usually have also my real driving license, but sometimes I leave the wallet home or whatever.
It’s just practical stuff, you can do without, but why should I.
What banks charge fees for web banking!? That doesn’t make a lick of sense, imho… That incentivizes using much-more-expensive in-person banking.
Also, even if there are some banks that don’t have web banking, it’s easy enough to switch banks (at least, in the countries I know about). Some people even regularly cycle through institutions to get sign-on bonuses a couple times each year.
But, yes. It’s less convenient to use platforms that respect privacy, and requires some trade-offs.
I’m not the person who you’re asking to, but my “honorable” mention goes to Gov.br, which is the Brazilian state-issued app for most citizen-related affairs (driver’s license, public healthcare, income tax declaration , etc). Even though Gov.br can be accessed from a computer, it requires 2FA through its Android or iOS app, where it’ll do face recognition in order to authorize the access. Even turning on the Developer Mode in a stock Android makes gov.br refuse to open.

They incentivize using the app not the web banking thus they can track u more.
What digital ID app are you talking about? Only one I could find references of online was “DigiLocker”
It’s called IO
