Pay securely with an Android smartphone, completely without Google services: This is the plan being developed by the newly founded industry consortium led by the German Volla Systeme GmbH. It is an open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with Google Play services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone.

I don't get why it has to be that complicated anyway. I should be able to just give them my key, why does a OS or device vendor need to be a part of it? When I get a card I need to verify my identity somehow, times past that was me going to the bank, signing a form and showing my ID card. Fucking Tim Apple or Satya McGoogle didn't have a role in that, why should they now?

Sidenote; I know Satya Slopella is Microsoft but I don't frankly care to learn what the pedo in charge of Google is called.

Blunder Pinochet. Or is it Sundial Pinoy. Or Thundercat Pyjamas.

Compost. That's all they're good for.
