Yes. Google PayTM 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
