Android 11 brought in a security feature which removes permissions granted to “unused apps” after a period of time.
If you have installed and registered the BOI Mobile and for whatever reason haven't used it frequently, Android will "auto-reset" & revoke the rights which were associated with the application and remove associated temporary files.
The net effect of this action will be that the BOI Mobile app will become disassociated from your phone-number, your device will become unregistered from your account and generally can't be recovered without calling the support people in BOI to have then fix it.
To prevent this from happening, either use the app frequently (!!) or disable the "Remove permissions if app is unused" feature in Android's app manager.

Otherwise - I predict pain.
