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)
The Indian UPI System is a pretty great for this. I wish more countries adopted it/built something similar instead of relying on corporations.
Oh damn that’s awesome go India.
