UK Banks: HSBC, Lloyds, Starling, Monzo, etc.

A bank card is far more practical than a second phone. Even if Google Pay did work on GrapheneOS, I would not use it. It looks like a privacy nightmare.

It is. Just put your card in your phone case if you really want to tap your phone to pay. Accepted in more places too :)

But then I can use it for any broken bank apps too.

Don’t need them. Halifax has online banking in a browser. When they merged with Lloyd’s, they moved systems so I’m assuming it’s the same for Lloyd’s.

Far too slow moving money between accounts while standing at checkout with a queue of people waiting behind you.

You go shopping without money in your account?

Not uncommon to have multiple cards.

No, but to have food shopping budget split amonsts them is illogical.

No one said that.

True, there really is no reason to configure a second phone just to use NFC payments when you can just carry a much smaller card…
