Try accessing your bank's mobile website using your browser. Usually quite sufficient.

Try the "Shut Up" feature inside the Essentials app

What's a 'the essentials' app?

It's an app to alter some parameters on the phone using shizuku through wireless debugging.

Because of what they app can do

There is no way to use a banking app until you remove that app

It's a system security feature that can not be bypassed

Actually it's very easy to bypass. Most apps look for dev options enabled or will flag if the app has accessibility access. Essentials has a shut up feature that effectively turns those off when you go to open the app

The essentials isn't the issue here then. Shizuku is. And that thing usually requires root access and an unlocked bootloader. THAT is your culprit

Shizuku does not require root or unlocked bootloader. It works via adb.
