I use contactless payments on my pixel, that and banking apps in general keep me from trying it.

Sounds like it might work fine, that's encouraging.

tap to pay isn't more risky, might be less risky depending on how you use it. My understanding is that it uses a one-time number instead of your card information, not unlike using the chip and pin. I'm no expert tho, don't quote me on that lol
