Banking or payment app compatibility on CalyxOS
Important notes about CalyxOS’ compatibility with banking and payment apps.
The experience of using banking or payment apps on CalyxOS depends on the specific apps you use. As a privacy-protecting custom Android operating system, CalyxOS disables Google services to prevent invasive tracking of personal data. Instead of relying on Google’s infrastructure, CalyxOS comes with MicroG, an open-source alternative to Google Play Services, to allow you to use many apps without compromising your privacy. However, apps that require full integration with Google Play Services for mandatory verifications will still not work, such as Google Pay.
We understand how important it is to know which apps work on CalyxOS, and we are working on integrating a solution with our partner project, Aurora Store, to help you identify if an app is fully, partially, or not at all compatible with CalyxOS. You can find more information on the limitations of CalyxOS from our user guide.
