okay, and who are they selling my transaction history to?
They got a privacy policy that tell you everything they do with your data. Isn't an open source app, isn't privacy focused and that's absolutely bad. But, my alternative is keep using Google. This is an alternative.
You have a third option beyond "google as card aggregator" and "curve as card aggregator". Third option is no card aggregator.
I want an app like that just to be able to pay with my phone, the rest of functionalities are quite superfluous to me.
