Not a stupid question at all!
The short answer: Yes, the vast majority work perfectly, but there's a catch.
GrapheneOS includes "Sandboxed Google Play" — a feature that lets you run Google Play Services as a normal, unprivileged app instead of deep in the OS. This tricks 99% of banking and work apps into thinking you are on a normal Android phone.
The only exceptions are apps that demand hardware-backed SafetyNet/Play Integrity attestation (like Google Wallet / tap-to-pay, and a few extremely strict banking apps).
Pro tip: Before wiping your phone, search the "Plexus project" database or the GrapheneOS community forum for your specific bank's name to see if it's in that strict 1%.
