Depends on the bank. Mine (BoursoBank) works on a rooted Lineage phone. I only had to add it to Magisk's exclusion list.
Yeah you needed to install a program specifically to trick the banking app in to thinking it's running on an unrooted device, because it otherwise won't launch (because it's rooted).
I've used magisk before, and its a major PITA to use. Every time you update your phone you need to redo the whole process of setting up magisk again, which requires connecting it to your PC to and running commands in the terminal. Huge fucking PITA.
The apps of the three big European banks I have banked with were able to detect magisk and refused even when on the whitelist.
No you don't. You simply need to run the Magisk app after an update but before rebooting.
Yeah tell that to my LineageOS installation.I had to disable magisk to update, otherwise it failed, and then I had to re-add a magisk generated file with the flashing tool for magisk to work again.
