What alternatives are there for Google Wallet/Google Pay? If they are OpenSource better.

It's a bit more complex than that because for contactless payments you don't share the card information with the vendor but an authorization token that need to be verifiable and certifiable by visa or mastercard.

So it needs to be sponsored in a way by visa or mastercard.

How would one go about creating a fully FOSS or mostly FOSS alternative to Google Pay?
