De-googled contactless payment? (lemm.ee)

I'm trying to move away from Google and other big tech corporations as much as I can without sacrificing practicality but it seems like the only way to make contactless payments is with stock android on a Google approved device.

Is there any alternative out there that would allow me to make contactless payments without these conditions met? (For example, if I put grapheneos on my phone)

Get a physical bank card with contactless payment?

I have one, but sometimes I forget/don't want to bring my wallet and it is a good failsafe

Didn’t someone cut out the rfid chip on their card and make a ring out if it? You might go the same and duct tape it to your phone /into the phone case.
