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)
Depending on where you live there might be a non google/apple way of contactlens payment. Here in Belgium the most common used payment app is called payconiq, and does not seem to be related to google.
It’s not necessarily the fact that it’s Google that bothers me, as I mentioned where Google is the best tool for the job I’ll use it but I don’t like how much control they have over my whole phone and would like to use it on a different platform
