Surface Duo 2 tap to pay using Google Wallet stopped working

Tap to pay using Google wallet when connected to an approved credit card is no longer working. The issue presented in the last few days prior to the security update. I've used it flawlessly for many months on this phone and now it refuses to work, it simply vibrates when tapped to a terminal. Not sure if it's google or microsoft in this instance but it's unlikely my bank after having spoken to them it seems to be more likely one of the former. Other Duo owners are reporting the same issue. Note that my loyalty cards still function OK with NFC Google wallet. I'm in Australia.

    Hi there. I update all of my apps in the play store every 1 - 2 days [others have noted that they do this twice daily]. So in the over 4 weeks that this has been going on, at least 25 times I have updated all of my apps. You may find, as I have described, that it does seem to work. For one day. And then it does not again, so not actually fixed!

    It IS intermittent - mine has always worked one day and then not for the next 6 days then randomly works for another day, then back to not for several days. This is how I keep getting caught out at the terminal, I think it's been fixed and clearly it has not. For over FOUR WEEKS now. So the August update changed absolutely nothing for me! Just happened to coincide with the one day a week that it works.

    This is now beyond a joke - zero acknowledgement from Microsoft that there even IS an issue = no intention to fix it. It is the effective removal of the NFC payment feature from their expensive flagship phone/device, which I think needs to be communicated more widely than just this forum!
