    That too has to to with the fact that all of that is an impenetrable black box. Google gets access, but if your oso isn’t Google, amor is rooted, they won’t allow you access “for security”

    Never mind that the banking web version works fine in any OS including Linux, no safety issues there (nor should there be any) but the app? Yeah, Google only and it’s all because of security. Uh huh…

      That’s certainly part of it, but I’d use any mobile payment app, not just Googles one, but there’s basically zero competition there. Some banks apparently had their own mobile payment support briefly, but it seems like just about every single one of them has removed that feature and replaced it with a wrapper around Google Pay.
