Google Pay alternative?

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

    Why?

    It’s a serious question. What features are you missing, what do you dislike, etc.

    Otherwise the answer might easily be: search for “NFC payment” in Google Play and that’s not helpful.

      Some number of apps are using pay for more than NFC payment, for ex some ticketing applications from concert organizers don’t seem to offer an alternative to use of pay. I was also hoping for support of NFC payment somehow, but had low hopes because I expect there’s PCI compliance or whatever.

      Because I don’t know the backend of the compliance process etc, not an I particularly interested in researching that, figured I’d ask in this community and find at least a couple of knowledgeable answers.
