Secure payments.
Safe and sound.

See how Google Wallet’s security features exceed those of traditional wallets and cards.

  • Its a wallet you can lock

    Google Wallet requires you to set up a Google Wallet PIN that must be entered before making a purchase. This PIN prevents any unauthorized access or payments.

  • A lock within a lock

    For added protection, all Android phones feature a separate lock screen. This, plus your Google Wallet PIN, provides double the security.

  • Encryption is the key

    Not only does Google Wallet encrypt payment information, it puts the data in a place only trusted programs have access — on a separate chip in Android phones called the Secure Element.

  • A wallet that reveals nothing

    When you save payment cards in Google Wallet, the account numbers never appear on the phone screen. So your private data stays that way.
