Mobile banking apps always have security in my experience. It might be a PIN code or password or FaceID, but it’s there. My suspicion is that the banks prefer mobile apps because almost everyone has a smartphone these days, and they don’t want to pay for the costs of maintaining a website interface and a mobile app version.
Possibly there is also a security concern? Mobile OSs are generally continually updated (until the manufacturer deems the device obsolete of course) and the app developers can require that the app run on the latest OS. On a desktop PC you might be running any random browser on any OS version from the last few years. And your PC might be remotely controlled by those scammers who phone up and offer to remotely control your machine so they can remove a virus.
