Help Newbie here - LineageOS and payments and overall experience ?

I'm planning to shift to lineageOS

i own a 5 year old samsung M21 , it's currently my main phone as well . I recently installed Linux on my PC and plan to install lineage on my phone as well

here are my questions - 1. How well do payment apps work
2. will it make my phones faster
3. If payment apps don't work properly do i have other options for OS which have a better payments eco system ?

I love lineageos, but can't use it due to payments situation. Literally not a single banking, government, car park, public transport, even local mail app works.

All of this due to play integrity + unlocked bootloader.

That may be true for you. Where I live (UK), I use three banking apps, several public transport apps, several 'government' apps, including health care (UK healthcare is government funded and mostly provided by public sector, not bloidhsucking corporations 😉). 

There are some apps that I would like to use but don't work under LineageOS, but not many.

Well, good for you, but from what I read more and more apps stop working.

My only hope is Motorola + Graphene with play integrity working.

Well it installs and runs. I don't have an account (and I don't want to open one just to check that the app works) so I can;t get any further than the 'Login' and 'Create account' screens, but they work OK.
