Google Pay alternative?

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

    Security-wise that is significantly worse. Google Pay generates a random card number per transaction and isn’t active when the phone is locked.

    I keep my credit cards in an NFC blocking sleeves because the passive NFC can’t be turned off. Someone could literally bump into you and cause a transaction.

        Bummer. Maybe there will be more options when Android 15 launches, it is adding the option to choose the default wallet app.
