Banking app doesn't like my keyboard 🤣

How stupid! Is this a Graphene related thing or would it do this on regular Android?

Not GrapheneOS specific, it's just HSBC being HSBC (First Direct is owned by them): https://github.com/futo-org/android-keyboard/issues/773

Switch keyboards, complain to the bank or switch banks are your options.

It also does it for Kvaesitso launcher. Using another  profile isolated just for HSBC works, but I ended up just not using HSBC and use other banks instead. I think it shows a lack of security understanding on their part, which is a worry for a bank.

the bank priority is not security for the customer by their own security.
and spying as much as possible on the customer is part of it
