Google Pay alternative? (lemmy.world)

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.

Figured as much, just thought I'd ask. What about for other things like gym passes?

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.

There's an app called Catima that might allow you to store other cards

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

it can only store cards that use barcodes/QR codes, not NFC ones.

Thanks, I actually use this for my Ikea cards etc. Great for static barcodes etc, doesn't support NFC though. Thanks anyhow.
