Perfect.

Do we have any recommended alternatives to Google Wallet ? I am asking from curiosity only.
Maybe something from F-Droid?

It will be great to have NFC payment working on GrapheneOS, but ... as I read posts, that is not the option right now.

    Rash7774 It would be amazing to have contactless payment on GrapheneOS, but google be doing google things :(

      If you only want to store QR-code based tickets and passes, try PassAndroid. It works with all tickets coming as pkpass-files.

      By the way: I can confirm that NFC-based payment with GrapheneOS works in general. I'm using my bank's Payment-app, which does not use the Google Wallet or Google Pay. I'm in Europe, so changing to my bank is probably not an option for most of you ;-)

        [deleted] NFC Payments work fine. It's Google Pay that requires a certified OS, not contactless payments in general. They're using their bank's app which provides contactless payments via their own system instead of falling back to Google Pay.

            That's right. It was interesting for me to learn that Android supports setting a default payment-app (just like it allows for setting the default browser). So, payment for me even works without opening my bank's app.

              Is there a dedicated device one could setup to use with Google wallet or similar? Program an nfc chip you could enclose in your phone case that keeps all your cards info?

                Google Wallet will NOT load for me. I just get the spinning circle.

                Wallet has network permissions granted.

                Google Play Services has Network/SMS/Phone permissions granted.

                  matchboxbananasynergy was hoping for something that could be as if I was only traveling with my phone like a super nfc credit card (that I can put in my phone case) that I can program and aggregate all the cards with or that I could run Google Wallet thru.

                    I have a few questions I could not find in this or any related thread:
                    My banking app works with GOS and it has contactless payment through Google Pay
                    I already have a throwaway Google account for sandboxed Play store.

                    1. How will adding my card information to my banking app / Google Pay affect my privacy? Or is in not a big deal?
                    2. Should I create another throwaway google account for just payment?
                    3. Do I make the payments via my banking app or do I download the Google Pay app?

                      I think if you were using Google Pay you would be revealing your identity and location and spending habits to Google. But I think Google Pay refuses to run on GrapheneOS because it is not a trusted platform.
