Google Pay alternative?

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

It seems like the question is ' can I use NFC without being tied to a major network?'.

Why bash that? Seems like a legitimate question to me.

I think the answer is you can't, with caveats, some prepaid cards might allow it, but you may not be able to do it on your phone.

I haven't had a bank account or credit card in a decade, so I'm with you on paying in cash. I also realize that doesn't work for most people.
