There\u2019s no need to open an app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s easy to get set up<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Simply download the app on Google Play Store and add your card details &#8212; it\u2019s as simple as snapping a picture. It\u2019s available on all Android devices that are NFC-enabled and running on KitKat 4.4 or higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s even safer than using your actual card<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Because Android Pay doesn\u2019t share your actual credit or debit card number when you pay, it\u2019s 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.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep track of your purchases<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>With Android Pay, it&#8217;s easier than ever to keep tabs on your purchases. As soon as you make a purchase, You\u2019ll get a notification on your phone telling you how much you spent where.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose your device<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Android Pay is not just for high end devices, it works across the full range of Android devices from basic handsets to the latest high-end smartphone models \u2014 and even tablets! It\u2019s available on all Android devices that are NFC-enabled and running on KitKat 4.4 or higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>It\u2019s available anywhere contactless payments are accepted<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Android Pay is accepted at any location which accepts contactless payments, and there are more added every day. Just look for these symbols at checkout:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Credit and debit card compatible<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Android Pay will support credit and debit cards from MasterCard and Visa and credit and debit cards from many of the Singapore\u2019s major financial institutions \u2014 including DBS, OCBC Bank, POSB, Standard Chartered Bank, and UOB. You can select which card to charge the amount to, so you can always enjoy the best deals available. Plus there\u2019s no limit to how many cards you can add to Android Pay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get your rewards and loyalty<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Android Pay also stores your gift cards, loyalty cards and special offers right on your phone. You\u2019ll no longer need to worry about leaving them at home, plus you\u2019ll get special offers as an Android Pay user. We are also working closely with leading loyalty programmes such as NTUC Link\u2019s Plus! Rewards Programme and CapitaLand&#8217;s CAPITASTAR. Users will be able to earn reward points &amp; enjoy special offers across multiple retail outlets very soon with just a tap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay in apps<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Android Pay will also let you breeze through checkout when you shop within your favorite mobile apps. There\u2019s no need to enter your payment or address details every time. Look for the Android Pay purchase button when the feature launches later in the year in apps like Deliveroo, Grab, Shopee, Singapore Airlines, Uber, Zalora, with many more to come.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel with ease<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>We know that Singaporeans love to travel and you\u2019ll always have your smartphones with you. Android Pay is accepted in Singapore, US, and UK.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/www.android.com\/intl\/en_sg\/pay\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here to Know More About Android Pay<\/a><\/h1>\n<p>Enjoy your shopping with Android Pay<\/p>\n<p>[ad#img]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android Pay just arrived Singapore this morning.
