The core issue is the lack of a choice of methods - here it's fingerprint or nothing with no PIN option. The SMS just confirms the device not the user - a concern for a banking app.

Fingerprint is an optional method. It is always possible to fall back to SMS, so that's the only real authentication challenge.
The only other security is the requirement for a linked account matching the customer's name, verified via Open Banking.
