My broker has a much more fully featured web app then it does on iOS or Android. You can do things in a browser that the phone apps will send you to a browser to do. BofA is just as good of a web app. Maybe people are just used to using their phones?

Can you deposit checks from the webapp? That is the feature most often missing in banking webapps. It isn't something I need often, fortunately.

The majority of the world don’t do this anymore.

This is true but the problem is every now and again some of us have to deposit a cheque because even if we would love for cheques to go the way of the Canadian penny they are very much still a thing

Asking for a cheque deposit is like asking for a car with a hand crank. People outside USA are going to look at you like on a member of a Sentinel tribe.

No you cannot, as of yesterday. The mobile app doesn't even allow your choice of camera app, to avoid even the tiny amount of fraud that doing so might enable.

FWIW in the USA, ally.com lets you upload jpegs from a desktop browser for all your 70s banking needs.

Good for you. Nobody is challenging what a web app can or cannot do. I love PWAs but services I need every day either don't have a web interface at all, have limited features or are unusable on a small screen let alone having a PWA. This is not about technical abilities but about what companies actually do.

Looking down the thread I am also thinking maybe this is a Europe thing? I am usa.
