Frequently Asked Questions

General

Which cards and devices are eligible for Google Pay?

Google Pay works on:

• Android devices running KitKat 4.4 Android Lollipop (5.0) or later
• iOS devices running iOS 10.0 or later

For in store purchases, ensure that your Android device supports Near Field Communication (NFC) and Host Card Emulation (HCE) functions.

For in-app or web purchases, customers holding either Android or iOS device can make in-app or web purchases even if your phone does not have NFC capabilities.

For fund transfers, customers holding either Android or iOS device need to ensure that you have registered for your DBS PayLah! account. Find out more about DBS PayLah! here.

How secure is a Google Pay transaction?

Like all Google products, Google Pay comes with strong security protections at its core to continuously and automatically safeguard your account and personal data from security threats. And when you pay in stores, it shares a virtual account number instead of your real card details with the merchant. In other words, it’s got your back so your real card details stay safe.

If your phone is ever lost or stolen, you can lock and erase it from anywhere with Find My Device.
