I’m looking for a way to have a private method for Tap to Pay on GrapheneOS. Ideally I would like compatibility with privacy.com, and if possible have the option for Monero. I don’t mind going through an exhaustive setup process. What are my options?

Edit: The point of this is not for convenience, I am trying to avoid using my standard credit/debit card to provide privacy against my bank by using privacy.com or Monero when cash is unavailable.

    Your option is having a financial institution that provides tap to pay on their own app. Otherwise you will have to start carrying cards again.

    Edit:

    You might want to check this thread on the official forums which has the discussions regarding NFC payments.

    I have seen people recommending the usage of a smart watch such as Garmin which has their own Pay application. You can check their compatibility list here. I didn’t have any luck because they support like 5 cards in Canada.

      Yeah, it doesn’t support Nationwide in the UK either, so no go for me too. Maybe there should be a standard, open protocol for connecting to bank cards to pay, so each company doesn’t have to separately approach every bank?
