First, download Google Pay from the Google Play Store. Second, add your eligible TSB Debit Mastercard by snapping a picture or entering your account number manually. If your eligible card is already set up for Google Play, you can add that card to Google Pay by confirming a few details. You may have to enter a one-time password that is sent to the mobile phone registered with us.
You can pay with Google Pay on your Android device in stores wherever contactless payments are accepted or where you see one of these symbols:
To use Google Pay in your favourite apps just look for the Buy with Google Pay button. The apps that accept Google Pay on the Google Play Store use these symbols.
Google Pay can also be used on websites from your desktop. Visit pay.google.com to set this up.
When paying in-store:
1. First check that contactless payments are accepted. Then just wake up your Android phone and hold it near the payment terminal until you see a blue checkmark. You don’t even need to open the app.
After three transactions without unlocking your device you will need to unlock your device for the next transaction.
When paying within apps:
At checkout, simply select the Google Pay purchase button. You won’t need to enter your payment info.
Google Pay protects your payment info with multiple layers of security, using one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures to help keep your information safe.
Call us as soon as possible on 0800 872 226 so we can block transactions on your eligible card. You can also use Android Device Manager to help you find, lock, and erase your phone.
Your debit card information are assigned a unique virtual account number that’s used at checkout, so your full card details are never shared with the store. Think of it as a digital stand-in for your payment information. To view the last four or five digits of your virtual account number go to “Card details” or “Transaction details.”
You’ll need your virtual account number if you would like to make a return on an item purchased with Google Pay.
In most instances, a return should work with Google Pay the same as it would if you had swiped a regular card. The key difference is that instead of the merchant having to swipe your card again you'll have to hold your phone near the payment terminal again to verify the return. Be sure to check that the card selected in Google Pay is the one that you used for the original purchase.
In some cases, you may also be asked for the last few digits of your card number. If this happens, you should provide the last few digits of your virtual account number. To view the last four or five digits of the virtual account number go to “Card details” or “Transaction details.”
Check with your retailer before making the return, as some merchants will require your physical card to process the refund.
