How to turn off Google Pay on Android

So i finally updated to Android 12 and noticed that the option to disable and enable Google pay by tapping it in the notification tiles (just like how bluetooth can be enabled and disabled by tapping on it) is no longer an option. Is there a way to re-enable this feature? The other other way i found to turn off google pay would be to turn off nfc but i dont think it makes sense to have to enable and disable this every time i wanna make a purchase. ig this is a weird ask but i just dont want google pay enabled all the time

Google Pay stores your Virtual Account Number on the device. It is the Virtual Account Number which is used to process transactions rather than the Goggle Pay app.

The Google Pay app is used to manage your cards and provide the Google Pay Transaction Receipt. It is a term of the Westpac Google Pay Terms and Conditions that you keep the Google Pay app installed on your device so that you can receive the Google Pay Transaction Receipt.

To remove the ability to make payments from your device, you must reinstall the Google Pay app and remove the card from the app or go to Settings > Connections NFC and Contactless Payments > Contactless Payments > Disable Google Pay.
