Has my iphone been compromised?

I received a phone call this afternoon at 2:01 pm, stating from Apple and my phone had been compromised and don't use my banking app till I spoke with a tech. I hung up without punching the number they told me to. Please let me know if this was a scam.

Scam.

Apple won't call you by phone unless you asked them to call you back.

See this article:

I don't think your device is compromised but, to feel more comfortable, you can follow the steps provided in this support guide:
