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

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.

Lock your phone from anywhere

If your phone is ever lost or stolen, you can use Google Find My Device to remotely lock it, log out of your Google Account, or erase your data. This keeps your payment info safe.

Industry-leading security

Payment methods saved to your Google Account are securely stored on Google’s private servers. When you pay online, Google Pay encrypts your data so that your payment stays safe in transit.
