It would be nice if we were taking comments in context. In this case, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BANKING APP.
Which you presumably use while connected to the Internet, right?
Why are you tunnelling to your home network to use a banking app?
Your banking app, if it was decently written by a sane programmer, should be entirely immune to any MitM attacks that a VPN would allay. Thus you would not be receiving any major benefit from using a VPN with your banking app. On the other hand, there is significant security value in the bank being able to see the actual IP of connecting clients.
That is a beautiful vision for a better world.
