The issue isn't with NFC. It's passing the Play Integrity check that app developers optionally can use to prevent devices that don't pass the check from running their app, or remove parts of its functionality. IIRC I don't think any custom ROM's can pass the check. So you might be able to pay via NFC with a banking app if they don't implement the Play Integrity API. For Graphene's thoughts on the matter (2024):

- lollobomb 1y agoYes, I know the issue, but my question was more: is Revolut one of such banking apps?
- _lvbh 1y agoYes https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/revolut-is-blocking-new-logins-from-android-distributions-that-arent-certified-by-google-incl-grapheneos/23024 https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/revolut-is-blocking-new-...
- lollobomb 1y agoOK, and then these HN users who report being able to pay via NFC with Revolut on Graphene OS are lying? Sorry, I am confused :|
- mbananasynergy 1y agoRevolut currently works fine on GrapheneOS. If they decide to adopt Play integrity, it won't work unless they whitelist GrapheneOS, which banks have started doing.
- kytazo 1y agoImpressive! Glad to be able to use Revolut again. Wondering, is this a change or their end or some workaround implemented by Graphene?
- mbananasynergy 1y agoGrapheneOS community manager here: They weren't using Play integrity and we were able to work around what they were doing, so Revolut should work again. They can decide to use Play Integrity in the future, though.
- lollobomb 1y agoHey, thanks, I missed the news! Will try again!
