is there a way to offload unused apps on my iphone but protect certain apps (like banking apps) from being offloaded? When banking apps are offloaded, I need to visit a branch to reactivate them. It makes sense to be able to "whitelist" certain apps of your choice.

No, but you can turn off automatic offloading in Settings ➜ Apps ➜ App Store ➜ Offload Unused Apps.
Also, if your storage is so low, the iPhone is offloading apps you do use regularly, then you should be looking to make more space on the device rather than wrangling with offloading.

You can only turn them all on or off. Read about offloading in:
