        Hi @atchoumm,

        Are you asking about publishing the app to the Open Store, or about intsalling one of the apps from the Open Store?

        In all cases I would suggest you create your own 'bookmark' of your bank's website with Webber.

          Or simply make it a favorite in morph browser like i do ^^

          But it appears that some banks doesn't let you manage your account on their website, only with their app, (i think @Flohack has the problem), so morph or webber not a solution for those.

            @Keneda indeed not, but in those cases neither would a third party app be a solution. As I expect these banks would not have any public API's to program against.

            And even so, you would need to trust (or check the sources to make sure) that the app developer is not doing anything they shouldn't be.

              Exacly! when i buy somthing on the web i need the app for confirm a secure code.
              but i am not shure the app on open store can do it.

                Banking apps in the OpenStore are webapps.
                So you can expect them the same features as the website from your browser.

                If the bank require an app (Android or iOS), the best solution is using Anbox which is unstable.
                But regarding security I don't think it's worth than using the app on an Android phone.

                  Another alternative could be to use Anbox on a small Ubuntu laptop or other linux derivative (under the condition of not needing google services I think).Probably (because I never tested it) more reliable.

                    @atchoumm most banks also offer chip readers as an alternative authentication method, ask your bank for one (most banks give them away free)

                      i would expect allot of problems with banking apps and anbox, those apps requirestringent security from the OS

                        I tried an box but it's really not stable and i can't install my app for security problem, i can't install the apk directly.
                        son i think i have to keep an old android phone just for my security code.
