There are Google Play Android bank apps (mine works fine), and you can use mobile sites as dedicated app drawer icons.
NFC payments won’t come anytime soon to native GNU/Linux, but I don’t use them. Maybe Google Wallet works, I haven’t tried and don’t know if NFC can be passed through to Waydroid. OnePlus 6 is the best supported originally Android phone for GNU/Linux, someone with that would need to test.
I just have my card in a silicon sleeve on the back of the phone and I get the same effect. I’d rather Google not have my purchase history anyways. Haven’t had issues with my banking app via Android, and their mobile site is top notch.

What’s wrong with tapless payment with cards?

Nothing, but many users have already migrated to using stored payment information on their phones.

When you use apple or android pay, it generates a temporary card number etc and uses that, which means if that payment terminal gets compromised, your card number etc isn’t exposed. Your bank could probably do something similar without Google or Apple as the middleman, but until they do, mobile pay will remain a killer app.
