De-googled contactless payment?

posted 1 year ago

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)

Would you consider samsung wallet big tech?

They are much smaller than google (user base wise)

I am not entirely sure it can be installed on non Samsung phones and non stock roms

Honestly I’m fine with using Google pay or Samsung pay I just don’t want them in control of my whole phone

I’ve actually got a Samsung phone would just like to put an alternative OS on it
