Google Pay alternative?

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

    There are card providers like Curve who let you add multiple bank, credit, and store cards to one card, and select which one you want to use through an app. I don’t know whether you can use them through your phone separately though, as I only ever tried it through the Google Pay system.

    Curve changed their terms a few years ago so that you can only have one payment card without paying a monthly fee though, so I haven’t used them for a while. On top of that, changing the selected card through the app was too slow for when I was in a queue and wanted to use a store card and then a payment card.

      Ok, thanks very much for this, I’ll look into this app.

      I’ll go on the record acknowledging that inevitably someone is selling my records and habits, but key is knowing the data is siloed across a few different brokers. If someone wants my info, I have to hope adding a bit of a paywall across it will help a bit.
