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)

This would be a perfect solution but I really hate having a case on my phone.

Back in the days you could take the back off your phone I put my card physically inside the phone and that worked alright but that's not really possible anymore
