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.

This is so necessary and overdue, lets be honest. I hope it succeeds

Oh yes please!

And since you're at it, make it possible to pay without having to go through the EMVCo monopoly too (Visa, Mastercard).
