Best AV for banking on Android

[RXZ6Q]

If you do a lot of banking on Android, is there any antivirus that specializes on this matter? Some kind of "payment protection feature" or something?

Never trust a av that only gives protection for banking

There are no app with payment protection feature on it.But for safety go with Kaspersky Internet Security for Android(Paid) not the free one.

*My recommendation-Use verified official banking app.

Surely recommend this but the malwares are targeting official apps also

Nothing is hackproof but official apps are patched regularly.In that case only hope is good Paid AV.

I do not trust Android for banking and do zero financial transactions on it. I have nothing on my phone that I wouldn't want anyone else to get their hands on. Way too many bad apps.

Thanks for all your inputs, guys. So it seems like none of the Android AVs has a special "module" for banking or something like that. That's what I thought anyway, I was just curious

Instead of getting an android av, money better spent would be on adguard premium which will at least protect from malicious connections by all apps including the browser plus some level of phishing protection.

Not sure what you're expecting an Android AV to do, but if you avoid dubious apps and only install the official bank apps from Google Play Store, you should be set.

Banking apps are generally protected by a personalised message (that you set), a 6 (or 8) digit PIN, or an option to use Fingerprint (if supported), and between switching apps you should be prompted for re-login.
