Privacy respecting Google Pay/Wallet alternative?

A few family members use Google for their mobile payment. They are aware of the implications but all alternatives I found are crypto based and not usable for everyday transactions.

Any recommendations?

I use Garmin pay since they aren't really in the business of making money off ads to me.
- Looks interesting
You've just paraphrased your own post you made not much time ago in the same community.

- Oh I'm sorry, I'm using a third party app and it gave me an error. I'll log in to the website and check
  
  Edit: Checked on the website, only one post
No, the current financial system requires closed source software. Help change it by supporting crypto.
- I'm not against crypto. It's just not that usable for everyday transactions like at the grocery store
  
  Yeah, i get ya. Though i have been buying groceries with crypto for half a year now. I would have starved to death if i hadnt figured it out.
