What is the Google Pay?
Google Pay is a mobile payment service developed by Google to power in-app, online, and in-person contactless purchases on mobile devices, enabling users to make payments with Android phones, and Wear OS devices.
Google Pay allows people to pay and make secure purchases in stores, in apps, and on the web. Cardholders are able to store cards for Google Pay in Google Wallet.
Google Wallet is available to users on Android phones running Android 5.2 or later.

Advantages of using Google Wallet:
- Easy to access - Google Wallet is a digital wallet for Android that provides fast, secure access to everyday essentials, from payments and loyalty to tickets.
- Comprehensive - Google Wallet covers the use cases users care about. Users will have the convenience of leaving their physical wallets at home, and still be able to access payment cards and more from their Android phone.
- Safe and secure - Google Wallet keeps your cards, passes, and other essentials safe with industry-leading security built right into your Android phone and requires a fingerprint, face, or pin to pay.
Also, if your phone is ever lost or stolen, you can simply use the “Find My Device” function to instantly lock your device from anywhere, secure it with a new password, or even wipe it clean of your personal information.
Where are my cards saved when I add them to Google Wallet?
When you use Google Wallet, your cards and your transactions are saved in your Google Account. You can change what is kept and manage your privacy settings at any time. More details here.
How do you keep my cards and passes safe?
Google Wallet uses tokens, a type of temporary alias for your actual account number, to help keep your account information safe. This token is created when you add a card to the Google Pay app or your banking app. When you make contactless payments, your tokenized account number is shared with the merchant instead of your actual account number. We require a screen lock. In most countries you can make small payments with a locked device, but for larger payments or multiple small payments, we require you to unlock your phone. This helps prevent fraud if your phone is lost or stolen.
Your Google Account comes with built-in security designed to detect and block threats like spam, viruses. With this built-in security, the Google Wallet data that’s stored in your Google Account is better protected from unauthorized access.

- We do not sell your information to third parties.
