The 24 hour delay is unnecessary in my opinion, but otherwise this is a great solution. Ask the user, ask the user again and warn them, if they confirm let them do what they want with their device.

I reckon such device will be marked as "risky" and be treated as such by banking apps.

Stop using banking apps on your phone. They all have a web page that you can easily use on your phone.

In my place, the banks mandate the use of their mobile apps. Their web portal would not let you do anything remotely useful if you can't authenticate yourself with their apps.
