Adding More Cards

• You can use the same card on several devices.
• To add more cards, repeat the steps for each card.

 

Paying with Google Pay™

 

You can pay in-stores, on transport, or in apps using Google Pay.

 

In-Store Payments

 

• Unlock your device (no need to open the app).
• Hold the back of your phone near the contactless payment machine.
• Follow the steps on the screen.
• Your phone will beep or vibrate when the payment is done.

 

Additional details:

• The first card you add will be your main card.
• You can change your main card anytime by choosing another card and tapping “Set as default card.”

 

In-App Payments

 

• Look for the “Buy with Google Pay” button in apps that support it.
  • (A list of apps is on Google Pay’s website.)
• Tap “Buy with Google Pay” to pay quickly and safely.
  • You may need to confirm your payment.

 

On Transport

 

• Use Google Pay to pay for buses, trains and the London Underground

 

Note:
For app payments, your main Google Pay card will show first.

You can pick another card, and that card will then be used for payments in that app.

This might be different from your main card used for in-store payments.

 

Security and Limits

 

• Stores may set a limit on how much you can spend with Google Pay.
• Ulster Bank may also set limits on how much and how often you can pay with Google Pay.
