FAQ - Google Pay™ & Samsung Pay

Google Pay^TM is a free app that allows you to pay with your Illawarra Credit Union card with a tap of your phone while enjoying the same benefits and protection of your physical card. Add an eligible credit card and you’re ready to tap and pay for purchases. Use Google Pay in participating mobile apps and anywhere contactless payments are accepted.

Yes. Google Pay^TM has a number of security features:

• Your physical card number is not stored on your phone
• Just like a contactless transaction with your Illawarra Credit Union card, Google Pay will not work for purchases over $100 unless you enter your PIN at the terminal
• If your phone is ever lost or stolen, you can use Android Device Manager (www.google.com/android/devicemanager) to instantly lock your device, or even wipe it clean of any personal information
• You will continue to enjoy $0 liability for unauthorised transactions the same as when using your physical card

All smartphones that are enabled with NFC technology, have Android KitKat 4.4 or above operating system and have an Australian carrier, are compatible with Google Pay.
