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?

The issue isn't with NFC. It's passing the Play Integrity check that app developers optionally can use to prevent devices that don't pass the check from running their app, or remove parts of its functionality. IIRC I don't think any custom ROM's can pass the check. So you might be able to pay via NFC with a banking app if they don't implement the Play Integrity API. For Graphene's thoughts on the matter (2024):

Yes, I know the issue, but my question was more: is Revolut one of such banking apps?

OK, and then these HN users who report being able to pay via NFC with Revolut on Graphene OS are lying? Sorry, I am confused :|

Revolut currently works fine on GrapheneOS. If they decide to adopt Play integrity, it won't work unless they whitelist GrapheneOS, which banks have started doing.
