German Banks that support native NFC (Not dependent on GooglePay)

DKpacifier

Hi everyone, I'm new here.
Wanted some information from German users of GrapheneOS.
Which German banks use their own NFC service in their mobile app, I only know about Sparkasse (using Mobiles Bezahlen). Are you aware of any other banks?
I am asking because I'll be moving over to Germany pretty soon and I want to open my account in a bank which supports native NFC so that I can use NFC payments without having to use Google/Apple Pay on another device.

(P.S. I am aware of this https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/#germany but nothing about this is mentioned here.
Thank you so much !!!!

I can second VPay of the Volks and Raiffeisen Banks in Germany.

I can recommend the free online only account from www.meinebank.de from the Raiffeisenbank in Hochtaunus.

Works great and when I made the account the account setup was really quick and mostly automated. ID check you can do either PostIdent or the ID check the Volksbanken use. Took the usual 4-7 business days for letters to arrive with physical Card and initial pin, but the account and virtual card worked as soon as my ID was verified.

Check Chapter 4 on this link in the Kuketz-Blog:

That blog is by the way the best you can find in Germany regarding security and privacy.

Second the curve app. Some Sparda banks use services from the Volks- and Raiffeisenbank (apps from Atruvia AG) too, then they have the app called Digitales Bezahlen which works like the pay (or vpay) app from them.
