What apps?

Why wouldn't this be something that happens between your bank and employer? In finland you simply give your employer the IBAN of a bank account you want your salary paid to. There's no third party involved in payroll, unless a company outsources their financial management in general.

Sure, my bank has an app, but that's just one way access my financials.
