What is Google Pay?

Google Pay is a digital wallet that uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to make contactless payments.

This means you can load your debit or credit card on Google Wallet. Once your card is loaded, you can use Google Pay to make payments with a compatible Android device, or use it to pay in-app or online.

Note: Google pay is not supported on some Huawei devices and iPhones in South-Africa at this time.

How to use Google Pay

Go to the Google Play Store and search Google Wallet, if the app is not installed, tap Install.

Note: The app is not compatible with some older versions of the Android operating system. If you can see it on the Google Play Store it means your device is compatible.
