Hi, I want to pay with online prepaid visa in person. I could add it to Google Pay, but Google Pay doesn’t support NFC payments on GrapheneOS. Do you know any other app that lrts you do that?

    Why hasn’t someone made a FOSS NFC payments app yet? Any bored Android FOSS developers, please make this your next project.

      If it was as simple as writing an app it would be done by now. The problem is authorisation, the bank isn’t going to action the transfer request just because Bob’s Banking app says so. The request either needs to come from their own app or from one of their partners (Apple).

        I’d be interested to know what happens if you use one of the official apps on a rooted phone.

            That suggests you can get credentials out of the phone, at least for non-google phones. I doubt that the Moto G that I just got has a security chip like the one in the Pixels and Iphones. It’s possible though. I do want to start messing with the phone’s NFC reader, though more as a general security thing than for payments in particular. Maybe I’ll get to understand it better.

      Probably the issue lies somewhere else, like legal, infrastructure or sm.
