The issue isn't with NFC. It's passing the Play Integrity check that app developers optionally can use to prevent devices that don't pass the check from running their app, or remove parts of its functionality. IIRC I don't think any custom ROM's can pass the check. So you might be able to pay via NFC with a banking app if they don't implement the Play Integrity API. For Graphene's thoughts on the matter (2024):

Yes, I know the issue, but my question was more: is Revolut one of such banking apps?

GrapheneOS community manager here: They weren't using Play integrity and we were able to work around what they were doing, so Revolut should work again. They can decide to use Play Integrity in the future, though.

Hey, thanks, I missed the news! Will try again!

OK, and then these HN users who report being able to pay via NFC with Revolut on Graphene OS are lying? Sorry, I am confused :|

Revolut currently works fine on GrapheneOS. If they decide to adopt Play integrity, it won't work unless they whitelist GrapheneOS, which banks have started doing.

Impressive! Glad to be able to use Revolut again. Wondering, is this a change or their end or some workaround implemented by Graphene?
