Why didn't you just change banks?

I'm in the same boat as OP. Used GrapheneOS until Google Pay was enabled in my country. ALL banks then killed their proprietary NFC wallet apps in a month and told users to use Google Pay. I switched to using a Garmin watch for a while.

Then bank apps themselves started giving me warnings that my device was insecure (the irony) and I got increasingly frequent KYC questionnaires coming my way. One of the banks also disabled access to some money transfer services, which I suspect is because of some flag on my account in their system.

I had to ditch GrapheneOS at that point. There are simply no banks that I can switch to.

Exact same thing happened in my country. All the banking apps moved to Google Pay/wallet and there's now only one bank left that supports the AOSP android pay feature. Also using a garmin watch now.
