Complete transactions rapidly in apps and at physical locations, without needing to manually input your information or search for your debit card.

When making purchases in shops or using public transport, simply activate your phone and place it near the contactless reader. For transactions over £100, provide your PIN, passcode, fingerprint or unlock pattern. There is no need to launch the Google Pay application.
Where is Android Pay? What is Google Pay?
Google Pay is the updated version of Android Pay. It combines the functionality of Android Pay with additional features, allowing you to make contactless payments both in physical stores and online using your Android device.
Where is Google Pay accepted? Can I use it internationally?
Google Pay can be used anywhere that accepts contactless payments, including shops, restaurants, cafes, and public transport systems worldwide. Look for the contactless payment symbol or NFC logo at checkout points.
How can I tell if my device is compatible with Google Pay?
Google Pay works on most Android devices running Android 4.4 (KitKat) or newer versions that include near-field communication (NFC) technology. Check your phone's specifications or try downloading the Google Pay app to verify compatibility
Protected
Your card information is never transmitted to or kept by retailers. Instead, a virtual account number (token) is used to keep your data secure.
Is my card data protected?
Absolutely. Your actual card details are never shared with merchants. Google Pay uses a virtual account number to represent your information, ensuring your real card data remains protected during all transactions.
