I would put the focus on having capable web-banking. I never install the banking app on my phone.
I must also be getting old, because I don't get the big fuss about NFC payments. Firstly, I'd never use them if they go through Google/Apple. But even when/if they don't, it's not a big deal to use a card, isn't it (if you hate cash)?

Card is usually linked to the US. Some people would like to not depend on that. But the rational solution IMO is for the banking system to use QR codes instead of NFC. Some countries do that and it just works.
The new payment networks are not an independent app. They are a protocol your banking app has to implement, so unless your bank supports non-Google phones you are out of luck (not my case, thankfully).

Where do you get that number from? All the banking apps I've tried work on GrapheneOS.

There are countries where the payment terminals show QR codes, and banking apps work by scanning it. No need for NFC :-).
