Comment on Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

  That’s not true. Google Pay (or Wallet?) doesn’t work on GrapheneOS. NFC and contactless payments work perfectly fine. You can use Curve Pay or in Poland BLIK via bank apps.

    OK, none of these are supported where I live…so YMMV

      As much as I hate PayPal, this is probably your only option for NFC payments on GrapheneOS then

  Contactless payments does not need to be Google Pay. There are alternatives.

    What are those alternatives…?

      Gaël Duval, the lead developer behind /e/OS, has been recommending an app called Zettle on his blog. It at least work on degoogled /e/OS, probably GrapheneOS as well. I have no personal experience as I prefer sticking to cards.

      The most famous one is probably PayPal. But I assume for people who are privacy focused, that would be not the first choice.

      There is Curve Pay, but I know nothing about it besides the fact that it exists.

      Samsung Pay exists, but it only works on Samsung devices and therefore is not really an alternative in this case.

      And then there are some regional options. Here in Germany are same banks that offer their own payment apps, most famously the Sparkassen. I heard there are also some Indian and east Asian payment apps, but I don’t know much about them.

    What are you using? It’s the only google thing I haven’t been able to terminate (and play services, for now)

      In a lot of European countries there are local payment apps that work as alternatives. Some banks even have payment support in their own apps.

      Check your local market for alternatives, though if your market is the US then there probably isn’t any.

  That’s a deal breaker for me, I haven’t carried a physical card of any sort in years.

    Same here, and unfortunately there is no digital wallet providers in my country other than Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Apple Pay.

      Curve pay allows the creation of a card linked to a bank card

  GooglePay does Graphene is very capable of contactless payment.
