So, I was about to pay for a lunch using NFC, but then I checked on my phone and the only NFC apps it has are Google and Samsung’s.

Which apps I can use to do NFC that will not sell all my bank data?

    First, You’re confused. That’s not NFC. NFC is just the method used in contactless payment.

    Second, there are no alternatives. Any alternative would need the blessing of Google, as well as your bank/CC company. Which they’re not going to provide.

    Third, the only private method to transfer money is cash. Or crypto from a wallet you hold.

        NFC is just the technology used to facilitate the connection. But it’s used for a wide variety of really cool stuff. Not trying to contradict you, just your post is a little unclear because of it.
