A more secure way to pay
every day.

With security built in to protect you before, during, and after every payment, using Google Pay is safer than swiping your card or paying with cash.

Keep your payment info secure

When you tap to pay, Google Pay sends a Virtual Account Number to the merchant instead of your actual card number – so your payment info stays secure.

Built-in protection before you pay

Built-in protection before you pay

Set up a screen lock to add an extra layer of security with Google Pay. You’ll need to unlock your device with a personal PIN,* pattern, or fingerprint before you can tap to pay – so your purchases are more protected.

*Unlock requirements vary by country.
