Most banking works fine. There was a time it had more problems but I don't even need to use a secondary profile with Google Play Services running any longer.
NFC works, but that is app specific. So no, wallet won't work because google wallet wants Google services to work. But in the EU some banks have their own contactless payments that work fine. In the US none do to my knowledge. For bus pass etc that would be down to your app and if they require google services or not. There's always the option for secondary profiles.
To me, I was amazed at his many apps use google services for notifications. So many apps work, but don't give me notifications unless I open the app... Which I'm okay with because 99% of them I would turn off anyways.
