Hi! What alternatives are there to Google Wallet? I am only looking for a secure app that allows me to pay with my phone instead of a card, I do not really care about the rest of functionality

Samsung Pay Apple Pay

If there are others I don't know about them. I use Google Wallet.

Kinda weird there's not an open source alternative

They'd need to collaborate with a multitude of financial institutions in whichever jurisdictions they'd want to operate in. That's just a level of resources most FOSS projects don't have. Plus, I can't imagine banks would be big proponents of open-source; where's the money in that?

Also I can’t think of a FOSS project with the time or money to comply with US/EU financial laws.
