I've heard that an NFC alternative to ApplePay & Google{Pay|Wallet} is Curve Pay, but sadly it requires KYC (while the former ones don't). Do you know if Walt will require KYC too? It's not clear from their website.

  • If I remember correctly in their newsletter they mentioned that they will, as it was unavoidable. But I'm talking from memory, that email is long gone from my inbox.

    the problem I had with Curve is that this privacy policy is a bit trash, and their DPO was unresponsive when I tried to exercise some of my GDPR rights

I like the idea but it has some pretty suspect TrustPilot reviews, and its connection to crypto is a bit of a red flag to me.

  • That is not the same Walt. I'm assuming you found the TrustPilot site for https://walt.io, which is some Telegram crypto thing from the US. What GP linked to is an independent wallet app that currently supports passes and is scheduled to support tap-to-pay in the near future.
