FAQ

About Google Pay

Google Pay is the fast, simple way to pay at millions of places – on sites, in apps, and in stores. It brings together everything you need at checkout and protects your payment info with multiple layers of security.

The Google Pay spending limit is the same spending limit that otherwise applies to your card.

In “one” you can view all the transactions made with your card. Plus, an overview shows all your transactions organised by category.

In the Google Pay app under “Activities” you’ll find an overview summarising the most recent transactions you’ve made with Google Pay.

Check your card’s transaction overview and spending limit in the “one” app. Contact your card provider’s customer service team if you have further questions.

Getting started

  • An eligible device
  • A card from your card provider that offers Google Pay
  • Android Lollipop (5.0) or higher

 

To make purchases in stores: Make sure your device meets software standards, has NFC, and NFC is turned on. Your phone must also have HCE.

If you have another contactless payment app on your phone: In your phone’s Settings app, make Google Pay the default payment app.

No. The “one” app is all you need for activation and your day-to-day use.

Yes. "one" is the digital service for your card that gives you a comprehensive overview of your spending at all times. The personal details (e-mail address, mobile number etc.) you store in "one" are required for the security check conducted when you activate Google Pay.

Paying with Google Pay

Yes. Comprehensive security measures apply to payment confirmations (authorisation) as well as data protection.

Authentication: To use Google Pay, the device lock (PIN, fingerprint, facial recognition, pattern etc.) for your smartphone/smartwatch must be activated. For amounts over the contactless limit, your smartphone/smartwatch has to be unlocked so you can confirm the transaction. Confirmation may not be required for transactions totalling less than the contactless limit.

Data security: When you add your card to Google Pay, an encrypted virtual image of the card is generated on your mobile device. This represents a new card number in digital form called a “token”. Only the Mastercard and Visa card organisations can match the token to the cardholder’s actual card number. When you use Google Pay, the merchant only receives the virtual card number, not your actual card information. Google does not have access to these encrypted transaction details. This ensures the best possible protection for your card and transaction information.

You can pay with Google Pay wherever you see either the contactless or Google Pay symbols. Look for them on the payment terminal screen or on the cash register at checkout.

Google Pay can also be used internationally.

Important: You’ll need to turn on NFC to pay in stores. To turn on NFC, check your phone’s settings app.
