I love GrapheneOS. The biggest downside is that Google integrity API block wireless payments in Google Pay. All Dutch banks now advertise to install Google pay for wireless payments. I've tried asking Google to support GrapheneOS but they told me to do a feature request. Which I did and got no reply to. I've contacted the consumer market authority and made a formal complaint since Google and Apple share effectively a contactless payments duopoly and decide which OS distributions get access. Those are closed source and usually bundled with a lot of spyware. I also explained how the Google integrity API might affect banking availability in the future (and already does for some banking apps). They took it very seriously and I hope to hear from them in the future.

That sounds like a very big mistake to me. And a missed opportunity: in some countries, banked work together to develop their own systems. People can send money to each other and pay everywhere with a small app that is not BigTech from the US.

I think there should be such an app in every country; you don't want your payment system to fully depend on US companies.

Generally what you're describing is in countries that don't have widespread adoption of NFC payments. In Europe almost every country has standardised NFC payments so Apple/Google Pay is the most frictionless option for users.

Switzerland (which is not a country that doesn't know how to do banking :-) ) uses Twint (a Swiss app) with QR codes instead of NFC. To me it's better than NFC (it works with printed QR codes, e.g. on parking payment machines).

I don't know anyone in Switzerland using Apple/Google Pay, which IMO is a national success.
