I don’t believe the Samsung A14 4G supports eSIM so as you say, you would have to upgrade and a dedicated number for banking minimizes exposure and reduces the attack surface.
Fewer databases = fewer breach points.
Upgrading to a device with eSIM and enhanced security features like Secure Folder under One UI 8 is a good option and the weakest link is usually the mobile provider’s own identity-verification process, if they can be convinced to move your number to a new SIM, the attacker gets your SMS codes.
Ideally look for advanced app isolation and hidden-folder control like high-end Samsung / Android with Knox and eSIM or Titan M security for Google Pixel mobiles.
