After a recent forced update, I can no longer login to my bank account, the app brings up google play and expects me to login to gplay for what ever reason,I am not logged into that cancer on my phone, so now I am fuming and don't want to be forced to make a google account on the phone. (by the way I have been using aurora to avoid gplay)

I am hoping someone has a some trick or app to bypass this ? I have talked to the bank but there is nothing they can do for just one weird customer !

Everything is going to shit in this dystopian technocracy

Change bank.

Don't use the app.

very hard to change the bank when alot of payment accounts are linked to it.

they have moved most of the features to the app the web portal is very barebone.

It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they've done this, what's the likelihood that they'll do something even worse later?

my concern is what if after all the hassle the next bank pulls the same act ? and the next one !

There are many banks and (better yet) credit unions. Not all of them are awful. Be brave. Take action.

That's a valid concern.
