Garmin Pay, Samsung pay if you have a compatible bank and card, PayPal in Germany and sometimes banks' own systems.

I had a very weird (bad) experience with Curve support so I couldn't recommend it.

NFC payments work, it's only Google who claims a phone not patched for 8 years is safe and secure, but phone with working hardware attestation and patched 6 months ahead of everyone else is insecure.

Curve Pay has worked well for me. Only good alternative as it doesn't depend on Google Play Services too

I extracted a chip (by dissolving the plastic in acetone) from my card and glued it to the wriststrap of my Pebble watch :)

When using contactless payment with my card, about 10% of the time the payment terminal tells me to insert the card to the reader slot instead and enter my PIN. I assumed this is a general security feature, but I guess it depends on the issuing bank then. This in Europe.

Well, I still have a backup physical card. It just is annoying to get it out of my wallet.

Nice hack but sounds quite unsafe, I like having to unblock de phone in order to use it.

Paypay works as well (at least in Germany)

Yes you can use Curve pay.

Edit: Apparently that's Europe only? I'm in Europe so yeah. I didn't know that.

There's Curve Pay in Europe. In the US, I'm not sure.
