Step 4
❱ If you don’t already have a screen lock set
up on your phone, you will need to set one up
now, for an additional level of security on top
of the app security. It is a good idea to set the
screen lock delay to zero. In some cases, small
purchases can be made even when the phone
is locked.
Step 5
❱ The next step is to verify your card with your
bank. In most cases, you will need to call a
number specifically for Google Pay verification,
but this can vary between different banks/card
issuers. The number should automatically be
entered into your phone dialer. Call and follow
the instructions.Step 6
❱ Once verified, the last thing you need to do
to start using contactless Google Pay in stores
that offer the service, is to enable NFC. NFC, or
Near Field Communication, allows your phone
to communicate with the contactless terminals.
Either turn it on here, or turn it on in your main
setting menu.Security and Advantages of Google Pay
Google Pay is not only secure, it also makes shopping easier, no matter if you are buying
a loaf of bread at your local supermarket or the latest fashions online.Purchase Tracking
As soon as you make a purchase, you’ll see a payment confirmation that shows you
exactly where a given transaction happened, along with the merchant’s name and
number. So it’s easy to catch any suspicious activity.Tokenisation
When you use your phone to pay in stores, Google Pay doesn’t send your actual credit
or debit card number with your payment. Instead it uses a virtual account number to
represent your account info – so your card details stay safe and secure.Simple App Checkouts
Google Pay makes it easy to check out in apps and online. There is no need to enter your
card details every time you buy something. When you’re shopping in your favourite app
just choose Google Pay (if available) at checkout and save yourself some time.How to Use Google Pay
