How do I use my Card with Google Pay?
Link an eligible Card to your Android device so you can pay on the go using Google Pay.
- Download the Google Pay app here by pushing the green ‘Install’ button then select ‘+’.
- If you have previously loaded a Card to your Google account, you will see it displayed for selection.
- Otherwise, add another Card by scanning it using your device camera or manually entering the Card details.
- Confirm the billing address for your American Express® Card, and then follow the additional instructions.
- For security purposes, we may ask you to enter a one-time Verification Code to confirm your identity. Look for the contactless or Google Pay symbols when you shop at merchants that accept American Express contactless payments.
To make a purchase, wake up the device and hold it near the contactless reader until your device beeps or vibrates and a checkmark appears on the screen indicating your purchase is complete.
You may be prompted to unlock the device first by providing your PIN, passcode, pattern or fingerprint.
