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)

  • I just keep my bank card in the protecyive sleeve of my phone, so it’s jut as easy to pay with it as it would be with my phone. There are of course some pros and cons compared to paying with my phone, but for me it’s important that it also works when I run out of battery.

    • This would be a perfect solution but I really hate having a case on my phone.

      Back in the days you could take the back off your phone I put my card physically inside the phone and that worked alright but that’s not really possible anymore
