• A fast and simple way to make contactless payments
• Secure to set up, secure to use

Pay securely with your phone

No more digging for cards at checkout – just tap and go, knowing that your payments are safely encrypted before, during and after every purchase. When you pay with Google Pay, your real card information is never shared. Instead, an encrypted virtual account number is used to represent your info, so your real card details stay safe. Have control over who can see and use your data in the ‘Privacy Settings’ of your Google Wallet.
