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

I had an objection to google pay for a while, and discovered Barclaycard (credit card in the uk) use an app which would act as a replacement for google pay. Worked perfectly. Of course then I found out how terrible barclays bank is for the environment, so I tap my co-op credit card now. Interestingly, google pay takes nothing when you use them to buy stuff, Applepay grab 0.25% as a transaction fee. Makes them billions per year, and the cost is shared by all of us.
