TapFree: Secure Mobile Payments for Privacy OS

Australian users on privacy‑focused phones like GrapheneOS can’t use tap‑to‑pay because Google Pay is the only supported NFC solution, leaving them stuck without contactless payments. TapFree provides a GDPR‑compliant, bank‑integrated NFC wallet that works on any Android‑based OS, giving users secure, Google‑free tap payments.

Comment on: GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple

The biggest hold-back for me is that, here in Australia, Google Wallet (aka Google Pay) is the only way you can do tap credit card payments that I know of. Can't with Paypal. Not with any banking apps that I know of.It's just so damned convenient. And the recording of transactions on the phone saves me having to collect paper receipts.
