flag Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath criticizes banking apps for excessive phone permissions, stressing privacy and security.

flag Zerodha co-founder Nithin Kamath criticized net banking apps for requesting excessive smartphone permissions like SMS, contacts, and call logs, calling the practice unnecessary and contrary to cybersecurity best practices. flag He said he avoids using such apps due to privacy concerns, noting Zerodha’s Kite platform requests zero permissions, relying instead on SEBI-mandated two-factor authentication for security. flag The company maintains its apps only access essential data, do not track user behavior, and avoid third-party marketing tools, a design choice Kamath said builds user trust.
