GrapheneOS: Google Pay (GPay) via Fitbit, second phone or other options?
UK Banks: HSBC, Lloyds, Starling, Monzo, etc.

A bank card is far more practical than a second phone. Even if Google Pay did work on GrapheneOS, I would not use it. It looks like a privacy nightmare.
True, there really is no reason to configure a second phone just to use NFC payments when you can just carry a much smaller card...
It is. Just put your card in your phone case if you really want to tap your phone to pay. Accepted in more places too :)
Don't need them. Halifax has online banking in a browser. When they merged with Lloyd's, they moved systems so I'm assuming it's the same for Lloyd's.
Far too slow moving money between accounts while standing at checkout with a queue of people waiting behind you.
Are you asking whether you should use grapheneos, your fitbit or a second phone for banking?
I think OP wonders if GPay on Fitbit works on GrapheneOS with his bank, or if he needs another phone to set it up.
If you must, the least invasive of the wearables that don't suck is Garmin. Get a Garmin watch that supports it.
Paying with NFC does lower the risk of getting a card cloned. The payment generates a unique code that's worth only what you paid.
If you want a device to do NFC payments you'll need to look somewhere other than GrapheneOS. (Believe me, I've tried everything)
