Does that mean you can use third party (dare I say FOSS) apps for NFC payments?
I was under impression that the big issue would be adoption. Like my bank supports only Google Pay and Samsung Pay, but definitely not a “FOSS Pay”.
Are there any? (Searching Fdroid as we speak)
There are not, and probably will never be, as they require proprietary blobs (e.g. see this issue in Catima)
Maybe mention and link them?
Hopefully it'll mean you can just have your bank's app installed to handle it so you won't have any third parties gleaming a look into your purchase history.
That's already possible. My bank doesn't support GWallet and I could set it as my default payment provider just fine
Banks were able to create their own NFC payment app, which can be set as default payment provider.
I'm not sure what else Google Wallet is able to do, but I guess this might be about being able to have a default wallet with tickets for events and similar.
Hopefully there'll really be open-source wallets. With banking/nfc pay this isn't possible for service ands security reasons.
15 Beta has broken NFC.... so, nothing works for now.
