Hey, I am kinda new to degoogling and I was wondering if there is an alternative to Google wallet with NFC payment. I dont want to use samsungs or apples too. Thanks

    Most terminals these days use the card’s NFC function, which can’t be ruined by some measly magnet.
    It should be safe.

        At least in the EU you will not find a legit place with magnetic reader anymore. It’s all NFC and chip now. The problem is, that you bank details are readable in clear text on the mag stripe, without any security whatsoever

        If they insist on using the mag stripe: find a different shop. If you bank even issues cards with them anymore
