Personally I’m rocking a Google Pixel with Grapheme OS.

    I don’t know why people would even attempt that, let alone see that as an issue, pretty weird for a privacy advocate to want to use Google pay. Google Pay clearly knows it’s on a modified device, hence it not working.

    That said the NFC radio isn’t restricted, so other banking apps just see that you’re not rooted, and verified boot is good, so they work.

      It’s one of the most secure ways to pay at retail. Payment card data is only shared with one party, payment methods are tokenized so retailers cannot swipe your payment information and use it again. I’ve had a couple of cards stolen by retailers like a coffee shop, that I had to close. It was a hassle. Also for online payments I much prefer GPay or PayPal, everything is clear, unauthorized payments are obvious and easy to fix.
