I am a long time GrapheneOS user, amazing project. One thing that is not clear to me is the support for NFC payments. Las time I checked, NFC payments on Graohene didn't work at all, but I am reading on this thread that some users do manage to pay via NFC? Did Iget this right? Mind explaining how?

I do not use banking apps (I only use banks that allow me to log in via browser using a 2FA which is not a proprietary app, like a FIDO key or other physical dongle), but do I get it right that Revolut would allow me to pay via NFC in this case? Is this something geo-dependent?

AFAIU, there's two forms of NFC payment:

- Adding your card to Google Wallet. - Using a banking app which actually implements payments via NFC.

Many banks used to implement the latter, but dropped it in favour of "just use Google Wallet". In the Netherlands, it seems to be all of them. This varies a lot per region.

I believe that the "just use Google Wallet" banks are the ones that don't work.

Also (as others have mentioned): many banks perform integrity checks, to ensure that you're using a software chain signed by Google.
