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?

NFC payments work on GrapheneOS. Curve Pay works with GrapheneOS and is available in the UK And European Economic Area (EEA). PayPal launched tap-to-pay which works with GrapheneOS but has very limited regional availability. Many European banks provide working tap-to-pay with GrapheneOS.

The issue is apps banning using a device not licensing Google Mobile Services or a non-stock OS via the Play Integrity API. Google Pay does this and a lot of banks outsource tap-to-pay to Google Pay instead of providing their own like many European banks. GrapheneOS users in Europe have multiple options. Users in the US often use a smartwatch for this purpose which includes the option of Garmin Pay rather than only Apple Pay and Google Pay.

The choices depend on the region. It would be nice if the Play Integrity API was forced to permit GrapheneOS via hardware attestation verification by regulators. We're pushing for it in Europe.
