Q. What if I receive a new or replacement card?
A. For any cards replaced due to loss, theft or fraud, you will need to add the card to Google Pay as if it were new -- either using the device camera or manually adding the card information. When a card enrolled in Google Pay expires, you will be sent a physical card with a new expiration date. We will automatically update your card information with Google Pay for you.

Q. Is Google Pay safe and secure for making payments?
A. The safety and security of your account information is of the highest importance. Your financial information isn’t stored with Google. When you add your card to Google Pay, a unique device account number is assigned, encrypted and stored on a dedicated chip on your Android device. When you make a purchase, the device account number, along with a transaction-specific dynamic security code, is used to process your transaction. So, your actual debit card numbers are never shared with merchants or transmitted with payment and your financial information isn’t stored with Google.

Q. What is an account number token?
A. A device account number (token) is a substitute account number that replaces your card number in each transaction. This means that your actual information isn’t shared when you shop and your details stay safe.
