    GrapheneOS is against this and I think I agree: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116200110686604617

    I don’t see why any system of this sort is even necessary.

      Yes the best thing is for regulators to forbid banks from serving you for “security” reasons.

      GrapheneOS is right, but again I can’t help but note them again attacking small Android manufacturers with unfounded allegations.

      Comparatively their language on Google is very timid. Obviously they are not actually competing against Google in the mainstream part of the market.

        Competing? Symbiotic.

      Best solution for Graphene OS seems to be to use a Garmin Smart Watch with Garmin Pay.

      As someone using the fp6 with /e/os, I can assure you, no wallets work in the USA. Supposedly curve pay and revolut work in EU though.
