As I understand it it has more to do with iOS ring fencing both the app and its data which makes less prone to hacking. Not saying it would be impossible but clearly compared to the way macOS has been constructed iOS is less vulnerable. Like NatWest there are transactions where you need to use a one-time secure transaction key which you can generate on an iOS device (or through the web site) but you don't require those calculator devices in which you insert a bank card to do the same. Lastly, as you might expect, banking data to/from the iOS app is end to end encrypted - not sure about messages, although these do not carry account info.
