Your mobile or tablet is enough to make your transactions using Google Pay wherever you are. All you need to do is download the app and add your Bank of Cyprus credit or debit card to Google Pay.
Automatically, your Android device becomes a "wallet" for online transactions, but also for your payments in physical stores, with the security of Google Pay. Remember that the application is only used with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later.
Download the app from the Play Store, follow the instructions and add any Bank of Cyprus Visa or Mastercard. Before you pay, remember to turn on the NFC function. You unlock your device, approach the back of the POS, the indication from Google Pay appears and you pay the indicated amount.
If you're making an online transaction with Google Pay, only follow the process once. Next time you won't have to repeat the process or add your card again.
Google Pay, with its most advanced security systems, offers multi-layered security and protection to your payments.
When you add your card to Google Pay, a digital number is automatically generated, different from the one on the physical card. When you make a transaction, the merchant receives this digital number and not your card details. Thus, your personal data is protected and shared with third parties.
The service is offered free of charge. You also earn loyalty points by enjoying the same privileges and benefits as with physical cards.
