Wake up your smartphone.

Hold it near the contactless reader.

Wait for the checkmark.


In apps/online
 

Tap the ‘Buy with Google Pay’ button.

Confirm everything’s OK.

Checkout and pay.



We might occasionally limit the value or number of payments you can make using Google Pay and ask you to use your
card instead. This is just to make sure it’s you making the transaction.

Keeping track

You’ll get a payment notification whenever you make a purchase. All purchases made using Google Pay will show on your statements as normal, and you’ll be able to see the last 10 transactions made with Google Pay on your device.

If you want to return an item, you’ll usually need to hold your device near the reader to receive a refund in store. Sometimes the retailer might have to make the refund back to your card instead. Any refunds will also show in the transactions section in the Google Pay app.

Google Pay terms of use

Keep your details safe

Google Pay keeps your details safe and secure as it uses a virtual number for in store purchases.

If you add your card to a mobile device, your actual card details will never be on display.

Secure as
standard

You’ll get the same great protection when you use Google Pay as you do when using your credit card normally. That includes fraud protection as standard and zero fraud liability, providing you tell us as soon as you notice any unusual transactions or you can’t find your card.

PIN
protection

Before using Google Pay we’d recommend protecting your phone with a password or PIN code. Just like a credit card PIN, never write down or tell anyone these details.

If your device is
lost or stolen

For extra protection, you can use Find My Device to lock your smartphone or get rid of your personal information from anywhere.

Things to consider

  • If you make card purchases, you’ll pay interest on these transactions, unless you pay your statement balance in full, every month, or if you have a retail promotional interest rate of 0% on your account.
  • If you’ve got a cashback credit card with MBNA, you’ll earn cashback at your usual rate on Google Pay transactions.
  • Standard network charges may apply. Payment is only possible when 3G, 4G or a wireless internet connection is present. Transactions are subject to your existing MBNA credit card terms and conditions.
