Hey Tito,
My US Bank app works fine. You might have to install a service called
microG to get the google dependant apps to run. It poses as google's
dependancies without sending any info to the big G. Most all apps that
I have seen only check if the service is available, hence the microG
spoof.
F-droid and Aurora store are the stores to use because if you
install/use google play on a de-googled phone you come under the G-
system tracking per Rob Braxman videos on youtube, rumble, etc.
F-droid is mostly tracking free but will tell you if there is any
tracking or possible malicious content (like ads inside the app) on the
apps before you download. 
Aurora store fetches apps anonymously directly from google if you need
a special app not available on F-droid.
For myself, I have been very impressed with apps from both stores that
are ad and tracking free.

Cheers!
