Found it interesting, something worth keeping an eye on. Hasnโ€™t released yet, planned date end of 2026.

Based in Copenhagen, I think.

The founder did answer some questions on reddit (user ColeFromWalt)

Will they support Graphene OS?

Nice, that would be the killer feature!

I use graphene os and i pay with the app of my bank. They just included a tap to pay function a few month ago. Its Working perfectly. For all features of the app one has to install play services , but i can have Them deactivated and still pay.

I'm using curve for tap-to-pay on graphene. Not exactly a privacy revelation, but then its visa/mastercard anyways, so... Shrug

I failed the initial Curve human verification and now I'm banned from making an account :(

you're not missing on anything. Curve is utter trash

They've denied my registration without providing a reason, and also played a fool when I asked to delete all my data. I'd say I dodged the bullet.

I am in Switzerland so no Curve here, but I probably wouldn't wanna deal with them either way due to their terms.

Luckily most stores here take Twint which is 100% Swiss and does work fine on Graphene. I mostly need an NFC solution for shopping in Germany and travelling.
