Right now you can't. I've already alerted Avast to that problem.
You would have to uninstall the browser and then reinstall it again.

Clean install of the Secure Browser:
Maybe it's time for a clean install of the Secure Browser
Download the installer from here, https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser
Download the Secure Browser Removal tool from here, https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe
Save your Bookmarks via the Book Marks Manager if you have custom bookmarks so you can import them when you re-install.
Uninstall Secure Browser via Programs and Features - Reboot
Run the removal tool, reboot, run the installer import your favorites if you saved them.
A video to help with the installation: https://youtu.be/r_VLA0HMLQM
Report back if that's solved the problem or not.

Clean install of the Secure Browser does nothing to clear out the items in Bank mode.

If been told the following by Avast:
There is no need for keyboard because Bankmode is protected by driver against keyloggers
I'm still waiting for an answer how to remove the icon from the toolbar.
