I doubt hardly if there will be one other than Apple Pay. These NFC payments are basically payment processors that have strict compliances and regulation which in trun only few vendors can enter thus sector.
Technically there is Samsung Pay and Garmin Pay. But Samsung is not exactly better than Google and Garmin Pay sadly requires a Garmin watch.
Came here to say Garmin Pay. Works great, and any NFC payment will require some kind of device whether it be a phone, watch, or whatever.
Figured as much, just thought I'd ask. What about for other things like gym passes?
It looks like you can read and clone NFC tags with the Flipper Zero, using it as a wallet of sorts for all your cards. But you need the card in the first place to be able to read it.
Still waiting for mine to arrive so I can experiment and confirm.
Ah see, this is the kind of seemingly arcane ideation I'm looking for.. maybe there's an analog on Android.
I really like these ideas. I'll think about something like this while I'm working, maybe do a bit of reading at lunch.
How much data could an amiibo have that a CC wouldn't?
There's an app called Catima that might allow you to store other cards
it can only store cards that use barcodes/QR codes, not NFC ones.
Thanks, I actually use this for my Ikea cards etc. Great for static barcodes etc, doesn't support NFC though. Thanks anyhow.
