What is Google Pay™?

Google Pay is Google’s digital payment service located in the Google Pay app on your mobile device. It allows users to make contactless point-of-sale payments or web purchases after adding their debit/credit card.

Does Google Pay work online and in-store?

Yes. Google Pay will work as a contactless payment solution in-store using a Google Pay-enabled device, as well as in an eCommerce environment utilizing the Google Device verification and authentication feature.

Is Google Pay secure?

Google Pay is secure. When you make payments, Google Pay never uses your actual card number but rather uses a virtual account number so your card details and private information are safe. Google Pay keeps your payment information encrypted on secure servers, so your full details are never stored on your phone or shared with merchants when you buy something because they see your virtual account number instead. When you set up Google Pay, you will have to set a screen lock if you don’t already have one. We recommend making sure Google Device Manager is on, which you can use if your phone is lost or stolen.

How is my card information secured within Google Pay?

You have to unlock your phone by either entering your PIN code or your fingerprint to use Google Pay. Once you’ve added your card to Google Pay, a unique encrypted number is created, assigned, encrypted, and stored on your phone. The data is protected on multiple layers that include encryption technology and Transport Layer Security. When you use Google Pay, your unique encrypted card number is used instead of your actual debit card number, so your debit card number is then never seen by a merchant as it is when swiping your card.

Do you charge any fees to use Google Pay?

There is no additional charge to offer or use Google Pa, but it does require an active data plan to work and your data plan may apply additional message and data charges.

Will it work on my iPhone or Safari browser?

Google Pay is compatible with Safari browsers but is not compatible with your iPhone.
