Gpay alternatives for grapheneos?

Certus They support cards from anywhere, but it is currenly only for residents in the EU. They are planning to expand to the US but still didn't happened AFAIK https://www.curve.com/en-us

I also got Curve from Huawei working on GrapheneOS. You will be prompted to install HMS Core by the Curve app itself, but non special permission is required besides network , nor the creation of a Huawei account. Rebooting is necessary before enabling contactless payments.

I also got Curve from Huawei working on GrapheneOS.
I don't know if it's a coincidence with the uninstallation of HMS core but this is what I did:

Install Huawei App Gallery, Curve and HMS core.
Try to enable Curve NFC but gets stuck in endless waiting.
Uninstall HMS core.
Try again to enable Curve NFC, this time it worked.
Install HMS Core again .

Not need of Huawei account or special permissions.

Now I have pending to make a payment to see if it works.

This is my experience with Curve +Tapster https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/16606-experience-wearable-nfc-payment

mgeo Oh. Missed that post.

Isn't the whole purpose of these cards and apps to track their users?

I read the reviews of Curve app on google store, there are quite many 1/5 or so.
I decided I don't need this feature that much. The use case that I went for a walk with kids, forgot wallet and they want ice cream is not that important.

Tbh, I'm long past this. Fidesmo pay works wonderfully with watches, bracelets and rings. I have a cnick ring linked with my debitcard, easy. Don't even have to take out the phone to pay, and it's outsourced from the phone as well.

kALIMIzT I just registered to thank you and confirm this. Got it working on latest lineage os 22.1 following your guidelines. I was struggling a lot in the beginning because I missed linking the Huawei and Google accounts and just created a new one. Did everything else but it still didn't work. It was a matter of linking the accounts in manage my account inside the Huawei app gallery and it worked.

Thanks for the guidelines!

Guys, Curve has enabled Curve Pay today. Integrated with the phone's NFC, no Google Pay needed.

Audacity0780 Wow! That means I can sign up, connect a card, and pay using my phone running GOS. I gotta try!

Can you share version you installed?

manugraph

andonl with the current 4.81.1 from the Playstore it works

Audacity0780

andonl Yes, as already mentioned 4.81.1 has the feature.

I've been trying it and works perfectly.

This solves NFC payments for at least European GOS users, you can pay with Curve Pay and it charges whatever other card you have from your local bank.

Thanks Curve for not including any Play Integrity BS!!

Audacity0780 I can confirm that it it working.

Sadly curve is not available in whole Europe. It is only for the EEA countries.

UK plus EEA, right?

I can confirm it is currently working in the UK. It unfortunately needs to be in owner profile to work by the way. My wife is happy to use it like that, I'm not so sure yet.

However, I am extremely happy about Curve giving GrapheneOS users the option, finally, to pay with their phones if their banking app didn't already have the functionality

It needs to be in the owner profile specifically or can it be in a user profile (so work profiles or private space won't work)?

roamer4223 I use it in a secondary user, on it's own alongside Play Services and just use my Play Services user with a login to update via Play Store. I also use it with both credit/debit too.

I can confirm Curve Pay is working perfectly in Germany as well! 🤩

It seems, though, you can only link it to a credit card for now.

Don't forget to enable your NFC in the settings if you weren't using it so far.

Huh? Really? I haven't tried it yet, but I've got debit cards connected as well shrug

Curve Pay working in Italy, too. I managed to link both a credit and a debit card, but only after pestering my bank's support because they were the ones rejecting the authorization.
