Hey there, I’m looking for an alternative to Google pay that’ll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

I don’t have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don’t get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

    I doubt hardly if there will be one other than Apple Pay. These NFC payments are basically payment processors that have strict compliances and regulation which in trun only few vendors can enter thus sector.

      Technically there is Samsung Pay and Garmin Pay. But Samsung is not exactly better than Google and Garmin Pay sadly requires a Garmin watch.

        Came here to say Garmin Pay. Works great, and any NFC payment will require some kind of device whether it be a phone, watch, or whatever.

        It looks like you can read and clone NFC tags with the Flipper Zero, using it as a wallet of sorts for all your cards. But you need the card in the first place to be able to read it.

        Still waiting for mine to arrive so I can experiment and confirm.
