Frequently Asked Questions

General

Are my payments safe?

Google Pay protects your payment information with multiple layers of security. When you use your smartphone for contactless payments, Google Pay does not share your real card number. Instead, when you add your card to Google WalletTM , an encrypted virtual account number is assigned to that card on the particular device, so that the real card number remains secure. The real card number is not stored on the device nor is shared with merchants.

Please note that the virtual account number used for your Google Pay transactions is printed on the POS receipt.
