If the provider knows how to block https, then can he decode it?

Such a situation: our new provider blocks even https. Does this mean that it can view all content sent over https? Are, for example, banking transactions through online banking at risk?

It is impossible to say for sure. HTTPS protects against a MITM(man in the middle) attack, but this can be bypassed in some cases. One of the tips to check the quality of the certificate in the browser, the padlock in the address bar should not be crossed out.

No, blocking and decoding are different things. I think that's why he blocks it entirely because he can't distinguish what's inside.
