Android alternatives, with contactless phone payment

Can I use Google Pay to take payments on my phone

Why must it be so bad?
There is one thing that stops me from ditching android entirely - I like to use my bank app from my phone, and I like to pay for stuff with my phone. I use my bank's app to pay for things instead of my debit card, and instead of gpay.
But bank apps hate alternative OSes. Getting it to work is janky as hell, and not guaranteed, from what I understand.
Is there hope for a good alternative to appear, that'd work OOTB? I use linux in my daily life, I can get my hands dirty and I COULD probably get it to work, but I really don't need that kind of hassle with my phone, I have other stuff to do. But what's left for less technical people?
This post is mostly me complaining, but I hope we can have a constructive discussion about android alternatives here
