How to add a card to Google Pay

Google Wallet for Universal and Universal+, verification and paying with your phone.

Updated

Prepare your device

Google Pay is advertised for both SafePay cards. Contactless payments require a compatible Android device with NFC, a screen lock and an available Google Wallet. Google sets device security and regional requirements; saving a card does not by itself mean contactless payments are ready.

Add and verify the card

  1. Open Google Wallet → Add to Wallet → Payment card → new card.
  2. Enter the number, expiry and CVV from SafePay. For requested holder and billing fields, use your own card’s Billing information.
  3. Save the details, accept the issuer terms and complete the offered verification.
  4. Check that Wallet marks the card ready to pay. For in-store payment, unlock your device and hold it near a compatible terminal.

If addition fails, check Wallet requirements, the error text and card status. Do not use invented account details to pass verification.
