Hi, I am thinking about buying a Nitrokey phone because I look for a safer phone. One of my activities with the cell phone is online banking, I have on it the bank apps, is this a probem? would they run well?  
Thank you.

Hi, way too late, but might be helpful for people dropping by and because this seems to be a frequent fear in regard to GrapheneOS.  
GrapheneOS (the OS on the Nitrophone) has one of / if not the best app compatibility you can get from a non-stock Android phone.  
Under the following link, there can be found a list of banking apps compatible with GrapheneOS:

> **[Banking Applications Compatibility with GrapheneOS](https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/)**
>
> Maintained Compatibility List for International Banking Apps
> This list includes banking apps that have been tested, submitted, reviewed, and verified as compatible.

> Introduction Welcome to the...

You might need to install sandboxed Google Play services for some of these apps, but many work just fine without them.  
Some apps use the Play Integrity API, an anti-competitive “feature” by Google, to ban non-stock OSes, which includes GrapheneOS. Those are very few apps. I haven’t encountered one yet, but, for example, Authy and eBay use this, also see:[https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos](https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos)

So chances are, most apps you want to use – including banking apps – will work just fine out of the box or with a few settings easily adjusted (on the GrapheneOS Forum, there is also a lot of discussion about how any issues that might arise can be solved, so a quick search might help if there are any problems).
