The university that I’m at is trying to get new students to use a digital student id that uses google wallet for scanning I think. They aren’t giving any new students physical student id’s unless they need it for something that doesn’t work with the digital ones.
as someone who runs GrapheneOS and looked into the possibility of doing contactless payments: no. it simply does not work. all the contactless payment apps can somehow detect you’re not running the stock OS for the phone and choose to lock themselves down.
cashapp and venmo will also freeze your accounts almost immediately upon installation and login and, in my case with cashapp, insinuate you may be reported to law enforcement for fraud when you appeal with info about your phone lmao
NFC payments also don’t work. Non-starter for me
Is it because of your particular bank or is that a general problem?
google wallet in general will not work.
also bank apps utilizing NFC is not a thing in the US
Ah yes, a feature that I’d never be able to live without /s

So yeah some people do need google wallet.
Google Wallet works though. It’s just NFC and credit card payments that don’t. If you can add tickets and passes with barcodes, student ID will work.
The student id’s use nfc here. Nothing to scan.
Cal state northridge?
Why not? You van set up a separate profile and install gplay services so pretty much anything would work under these conditions I assume
“I assume” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
