Garmin pay, assuming you bank supports it
If you must, the least invasive of the wearables that don’t suck is Garmin. Get a Garmin watch that supports it.
Paying with NFC does lower the risk of getting a card cloned. The payment generates a unique code that’s worth only what you paid.
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…
Are you asking whether you should use grapheneos, your fitbit or a second phone for banking?
I think OP wonders if GPay on Fitbit works on GrapheneOS with his bank, or if he needs another phone to set it up.

For NFC payment
If you want a device to do NFC payments you’ll need to look somewhere other than GrapheneOS. (Believe me, I’ve tried everything)

Use a card. NFC is not a necessity.
