Strongly recommend reviewing the compatibility of apps you can't live without, especially finance ones. And you won't be able to use Google Wallet with tap to pay. Those are often not happy about you having any amount of security or privacy in the name of security, but really usually because they're too lazy, or want to violate your privacy themselves.
I never really used it so it was fine with me. And the few apps I had to dump I mostly found open source alternatives for other than finance ones which I just use the websites instead now.
I installed curve pay to replace google wallet as suggested elsewhere, works fine.
That's cool. I wish there were alternatives in the US. The banking apps seem to have all removed their tap to pay features even. I don't want something like Curve that sells your purchase history in exchange for a few features. I just don't want to carry a wallet just for credit cards anymore.
