i dont think you need google play services for banking.
furthermore, i disabled play services. i dont need it for 99% of apps.
sometimes theres one cool heavily proprietary app that forces you to use it. sucks. and i just gotta uninstall it.

ok. my mistake.
either way..
i would think you could just use a web browser. but sometimes app is more preferable
