I'm trying to move away from Google and other big tech corporations as much as I can without sacrificing practicality but it seems like the only way to make contactless payments is with stock android on a Google approved device.

Is there any alternative out there that would allow me to make contactless payments without these conditions met? (For example, if I put grapheneos on my phone)

Everything in the banking / point of sale space requires certification, thus there are few solutions that enter the space as it is a slow costly process that involves payment processors and banks.

  • use the original cards
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Samsung pay
  • a few others
  • various NFC cloning tools that will raise eyebrows at the checkout (flipper zero)
