A bank card is far more practical than a second phone. Even if Google Pay did work on GrapheneOS, I would not use it. It looks like a privacy nightmare.

True, there really is no reason to configure a second phone just to use NFC payments when you can just carry a much smaller card...

It is. Just put your card in your phone case if you really want to tap your phone to pay. Accepted in more places too :)

But then I can use it for any broken bank apps too.

Don't need them. Halifax has online banking in a browser. When they merged with Lloyd's, they moved systems so I'm assuming it's the same for Lloyd's.

Far too slow moving money between accounts while standing at checkout with a queue of people waiting behind you.

You go shopping without money in your account?

[–] autonomoususer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Not uncommon to have multiple cards.

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, but to have food shopping budget split amonsts them is illogical.

No one said that.
