I don't know this feature. Are you sure you don't mean Google Pay/Wallet NFC payment? This is not working but it's not related to the Neon app. As far as I know there is no NFC payment in the Neon app. In the app you can pay to your contact (if you share your contacts with the app) or do a bank (IBAN) payment like with any bank but that's all.
Hi @ElucGeek , as Google pay doesn't work on graphene os contactless payment only works if the banking app supports it. Some banking apps do and I was hoping neon would be one of those, as having to use the card again is a major bummer.

Hi @retog , I never heard of a banking app that can be used to pay directly on Google Pay compatible terminal, do you have an example? if possible from a Swiss Bank? Regarding Google Pay, it's a matter of compromise, I did use it less than 10 times in a year when I was on LineageOS but each time I used it I had the card on me as well, so it was not really necessary. Anyway I need the card to withdraw money, for shop that doesn't support Google Pay or to pay amount above a certain limit (if I'm right Google Pay has the same limit as contactless payment, but not sure). On top of that, even if I didn't reach a zero-Google setup yet, I still try to avoid giving financial data to Google or any other app/service than my bank and card provider. But it's going off the topic.
Hi @ElucGeek, there seems to be several banking app that support NFC payment according to https://www.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/comments/100a5pk/grapheneos_nfc_payment_options_google_pay_etc/. I think the UBS app had it till around two years ago.
Before switching to graphene I always paid with my phone. Yes, the physical card is somewhere in my wallet stored in a bag of my wheelchair, but my phone is always at hand. Also for me it's easier to use than a terminal. Touching the terminal is also less hygienic, something I have to worry about, as I'm on immunosuppressants. But even without my particular circumstances, I can't see how anybody would like to fiddle with a card when you could just hold your phone.
In Switzerland there's the partial work-around of paying with ubs-twint connected to the Neon card, but it doesn't work abroad and it's just not as convenient.
It shouldn't be too hard for Neon to implement this feature given the support built in Android: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/hce
So if you know anybody at neon, nudge them :)
Is there an existing issue for this?
