There is a payment app/bank account in Europe who doesn’t need Google Play Services to fully works?

    This works for grocery shopping and so, but not so much for last-minute online transfers. You would need to physically move to your bank office every time you need to move money between bank accounts.

    If I need one day such app, probably I would use one of my bank, not a third party one.

    I think the issue is that many (most?) bank apps in the EU will simply refuse to work if your Android phone runs some custom firmware and/or lacks Google Play Services, as a “security measure”. Until not so long ago, my bank’s 2FA app crashed just because I was using a non-standard keyboard app… (now it shows a big red warning, but at least it doesn’t crash).

      As said, I’ve the Bank and ATM at 5 minutes from home. No need of any app.

      Was pleasantly surprised a few weeks back when Norway’s biggest bank app released a hotfix because their recent release had issues with GrapheneOS.
