Google Pay is secure. When you add a card, your card details are replaced with a virtual account number. Your card details are not stored on the device or disclosed and transmitted when you make a payment with Google Pay.
Here are some additional tips to stay safe:
- Only download apps from the official Google Play Store
- Keep your device's operating system updated with latest updates
- Think carefully before tampering with the security of your device
- Only use known and trusted Wi-Fi networks
- Don't share your device unlock code or payment card details with anyone and don't store them on your device
- Don't leave your phone unattended in a public area
