Google Pay alternative?

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

    The open-source solution is affixing your credit card (or an “additional cardholder” card) to the back of your phone.

    Google Pay, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay are the ones I know of. My bank’s app used to be able to do mobile payments but they stopped unfortunately. Banks bristle at the fact there could be open source solutions to anything in the financial sector, it could take away from their upcharging and parasitism.
