Who said anything about sticking anything into credit card terminals? And I'm not seeing any wires sticking out of the phone. I'd say it doesn't particularly look like a bomb either, but given recent events, that probably doesn't say much.
You'll be asking the same thing by trying to pay through a totally custom phone. As I'm repeating here, the blocker is lack of trust from banks, not technical reasons. THEY have to trust YOU, and then banking apps will work. Otherwise any tricks to get past security check to manipulate your bank accounts will be just short-lived hacks.
If the King of England walked into the Bank of England and wrote a hand-written bond for GBP1k with a bic pen on back of copier paper, they'll take it. Electronic platforms has nothing to do with that. That's why it's stupid to keep asking if banking apps would work.

what has gone wrong in your brain that you think that?
You're new to HN, right? We don't behave like this here.
I'm referring to the pugnacious tone, but the certainty in the absence of evidence is also a bit gauche.
So you know, chazza banks with coutts. I reckon he could draw much much more, over the phone or in person, and wouldn't be put on hold or asked security questions. If you also happen to be the head of state of several nations and have your face on the coin of the realm, and your experience is contrary, then please do rebut my assertion.
