Here are 10 things to know about Android Pay:-

  1. It’s easy to use
    • Just wake your phone (you don’t even have to unlock it), hold it to the contactless payment terminal, and your payment is done. There’s no need to open an app.
  2. It’s easy to get set up
    • Simply download the app on Google Play Store and add your card details — it’s as simple as snapping a picture. It’s available on all Android devices that are NFC-enabled and running on KitKat 4.4 or higher.
  3. It’s even safer than using your actual card
    • Because Android Pay doesn’t share your actual credit or debit card number when you pay, it’s even safer than using your actual card. By creating a unique virtual account number for your transaction, your name and full card details are never shown in the app, never stored on your phone, and never shared with the merchant. If your phone is ever lost or stolen, you can simply use Android Device Manager to instantly lock your device from anywhere, secure it with a new password, or even wipe it clean of your personal information.

    • With Android Pay, it’s easier than ever to keep tabs on your purchases. As soon as you make a purchase, You’ll get a notification on your phone telling you how much you spent where.
