Your phone sends payment, and, at some merchants, offers and loyalty information.
Citi MasterCard
It’s easy to set up a Citi MasterCard with Google Wallet. If you already have a card, open Google Wallet and enter your account information. After Citi verifies it, your credit card credentials are stored to a secure microchip on your phone. You can then tap your phone to pay. If you have a Citi MasterCard and want to confirm that it works with Google Wallet, check here.
If you do not currently have a Citi MasterCard, you can apply for one here.
Google Prepaid Card
The Google Prepaid Card is a virtual card that you can fund with any of your existing credit cards -- no Citi MasterCard required. After you activate the Google Prepaid Card in Google Wallet, you’ll get $10 in your account. Your first $10 spent with Google Wallet is on us.
You can then top up the card with additional funds from any of your credit cards or signature debit cards. Debit cards that require a PIN will not work. You’ll pay no fees to top up your Google Prepaid Card.
The Google Prepaid Card is powered by MasterCard® and Money Network®.
