# Larp bank app decoded: the apps, the APK and PC questions, Pro, and codes Source: https://flexdger.com/blog/larp-bank-app Updated: 2026-11-01 Published: 2026-11-01 Topic: Crypto wallet mockups (https://flexdger.com/blog/crypto-wallets) > Larp bank app questions answered one by one: store apps, APK, website, PC, what Pro unlocks, why we could not verify codes, and why it is never proof of funds. Type "larp bank" into a search box and the suggestions pile up: apk, website, pc, pro, free, codes. This page answers each one in turn. It covers the store apps that exist, what the best known of them says about Pro and about platforms on 31 October 2026, and the one claim we could not back up. One rule sits above all of it: a bank screen made in an app is never evidence of money. **Short answer:** It is an app that stages a bank account of your choosing (balances, cards, transactions) for videos, roleplay and props. LarpBank is the best known, sold through the App Store and Google Play, with Pro as an in-app purchase. Its site mentions no web version, APK, PC build or codes. And the screen proves nothing about real money. ## One search phrase, seven questions "Larp bank" draws a trail of add-ons in the search suggestions, and each one points at a different question. Here is what each really gets you, based on LarpBank's own site on 31 October 2026 and our comparison at [LarpBank vs Flexdger Wallet](https://flexdger.com/compare/larpbank-vs-flexdger) from 28 October. - **App or account app:** the iPhone, iPad and Android store apps covered below. - **Website or account website:** the developer's marketing page. We found no version of the app that runs in a browser. - **APK:** its site links only to Google Play, so a file from elsewhere is not from its developer. - **PC:** no desktop build found. A store app reaches a PC only through an emulator. - **Pro:** an in-app purchase, explained a little further down. - **Free:** the download costs nothing, and balances are capped until you buy Pro. - **Codes:** not verified. There is a section on it below. ## What the thing actually is Picture a banking app with no bank behind it. You pick the balances, the cards and the transaction list, and the app paints them so they read like the real thing. That is a larp bank app, also called a bank app simulator or fake bank account app. Typical uses: a skit, a tabletop campaign, a classroom demonstration, or a phone that has to look lived in during a scene. "Larp" means playing a role, here an account that does not exist. Wallet screens work the same way for crypto. A larp wallet (a crypto wallet app simulator) draws a wallet screen that reads as real from figures you type: for a video, a sketch, a pitch deck or a demo. Nothing is held in it and no chain is read. A disclosure: we make Flexdger Wallet, which draws crypto wallet screens and no bank screens, so this is a maker's page about a neighboring product. ## Four store apps that stage a bank account These come from the listings we opened on 12 October 2026, plus LarpBank's site on 31 October. - **LarpBank (App Store, Google Play):** checking, savings and a credit card with seeded history, plus crypto and stock modes, usable offline. Free to download, with Pro as an annual or lifetime in-app purchase. - **CustomBank (App Store, Google Play):** themes, transfers, bill pay, ready-made scenarios, receipts and statements. Monthly or annual Premium. - **Flex - Bank App Simulator (App Store, Google Play):** profiles ranging from new user to multi-millionaire, cards, investments and generated transactions. Custom balances and account names sit behind Flex Pro. - **Bank Account Simulator (App Store):** accounts, cards and portfolios of stocks, ETFs, crypto, bonds and options, with two Pro purchases. Every listing calls itself a simulation for entertainment or education that offers no banking service. Ratings and classroom or film-set alternatives are in [bank app simulators](https://flexdger.com/blog/bank-app-simulators). ## LarpBank in its own words The publisher is Bell Street Software. When we looked on 28 October 2026, the US App Store page showed 242 ratings averaging 4.7, and Google Play showed 119 reviews averaging 4.5 with 10K+ downloads. The site describes a fictional app that keeps its data on the device, needs no account and makes no internet calls, which is why its market moves are simulated whenever you pull to refresh. Pro, per the site on 31 October: balances and sales are capped on the no-cost version, and Pro removes the cap and unlocks payment simulation, crypto purchase simulations and its notifications feature. It is an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. Platforms are iPhone and iPad plus Android phone and tablet, and we saw no web version, no APK hosted on its site and no desktop build. ## Choosing a sound route to install On Android, use the store listing. An APK passed around through a link or a chat is the risky path, and [larp wallet for Android](https://flexdger.com/blog/larp-wallet-android) explains what an unofficial file can do to a phone that also holds crypto apps. On a computer, a browser tab beats an emulator, and [larp wallet on PC](https://flexdger.com/blog/larp-wallet-pc) walks through that for a wallet screen. ## Pro is clear. Codes are not. **Pro** we can state, because the developer's site describes it: the paid upgrade that lifts the balance cap and adds payment simulation, crypto purchase simulations and notifications. You buy it in the app, through the store. **Codes** we cannot. We found no redeem or promo codes mentioned on LarpBank's site on 31 October 2026, and searching for them returned nothing about this app, so we do not claim that any exist. Stores can issue promo codes in general and a developer may give some out, but we have no source that this one does. Treat any page, video or message selling or sharing a Pro code with suspicion. It asks you to type something into the app or the store, and the page offering it has every reason to harvest your email or push a download. ## The limit nobody gets to move A larp bank screen is a prop. Presented as real to a landlord, a lender, an embassy, an employer or a person you ask to send money, it turns into a false statement. In the US, knowingly lying to an insured lender carries up to 30 years in prison under 18 U.S.C. 1014, and the Fraud Act 2006 in England and Wales sets a maximum of 10 years. The disclaimer on a store listing protects the maker, not you. Genuine proof of funds comes from the institution holding the money. ## When the scene needs a crypto wallet instead Flexdger Wallet is crypto only: your tokens and amounts, live market prices for five built-in tokens, full screen on a phone, nothing to install and no recovery phrase to enter. It is paid, monthly or once for life, and has no bank screens, so a bank account means one of the apps above. You can try the wallet from the homepage. ## Sources - [larpbankapp.com home page](https://larpbankapp.com/), read 31 October 2026 - [Google Play listing for LarpBank](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.larpbankapp.larpbank), recorded 28 October 2026 in our LarpBank comparison - Store listings for CustomBank, Flex and Bank Account Simulator, recorded 12 October 2026 in our bank app simulators guide - [Cornell Law School LII, 18 U.S. Code 1014](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1014), read 31 October 2026 - [legislation.gov.uk, Fraud Act 2006](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/contents), read 31 October 2026 ## Questions ### What does "larp bank app" mean? It is a phone app that stages a plausible bank account: checking and savings balances, a card, a list of transactions, everything typed by you and linked to no bank. It suits videos, roleplay, tabletop games and scenes that need a phone prop. No money moves and nothing is proven. ### Does a larp bank APK exist? Not from LarpBank. On 31 October 2026 its site pointed only to the stores, with Google Play for Android. An APK from anywhere else did not come from its developer, and loading one onto a phone that has banking or crypto apps is a risk with no upside. Install from the Google Play listing. ### Can I use larp bank in a browser or on a PC? We found no sign of it. LarpBank describes an iPhone and iPad app plus an Android phone and tablet app, and says nothing about the web or desktop. A computer would need an emulator, which is one more thing to trust. If a wallet screen is what you need, a browser tab is the simpler path. ### What does Pro add? Pro is bought inside the app. According to the developer's site, the no-cost version caps balances and sales, and Pro lifts that cap while adding payment simulation, crypto purchase simulations and a notifications feature. You pick an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. Look at the price in your own store. ### Is it free, and are there codes? Downloading costs nothing, and Pro is the paid step up. On codes, our reading of its site on 31 October 2026 turned up no redeem or promo codes and we found no source for any, so we do not say they exist. Be wary of a page or video that sells or hands out a code to unlock Pro. The store purchase is the route the developer describes. ### Can I show one of these screens to prove I have money? No. Offered to a landlord, lender, embassy, employer or buyer as a real balance, a simulated bank screen is a false statement. In the US, lying to an insured lender can bring up to 30 years in prison under 18 U.S.C. 1014. The disclaimer on the store page shields the app's maker, not whoever shows the screen.
