    Until earlier this year, I could make NFC payments with the app of my credit card company. AFAIK contactless payments on Android were never locked to Google Pay/Wallet. But I have no idea why there’s no competition in this space. I’d expect e.g. PayPal to have something, but if they do I never heard of it - and I did look once, briefly.

        For generic contactless payments at shops? Or some closed system that only works with other PayPal users?

          For the most generic grocery shopping you can imagine
