You can use Google Pay on any compatible Android device such as Smartphone, tablet or smartwatches. With Google Pay, you can:

  • Tap and pay wherever Mastercard contactless payments are accepted - even overseas
  • Buy on apps and websites where you see the Google Pay logo – including Google products such as YouTube, the Play Store, Google Store, Google Photos and more.

Plus, all personal and business Bankwest Mastercard® debit and credit cards are eligible, so you're covered for work and play.

How to install

Google Pay is currently supported on Android 5.0 devices (Lollipop) or higher with Near Field Communication (NFC) and Host Card Emulation (HCE).

1. Install

Download Google Pay App on Google Play™ or check to see if it's already installed on your phone.

2. Add a card

Simply scan your card and follow the instructions in the app or enter your card details manually.

3. Get started

Unlock your phone and hold it near the contactless terminal to pay.

Simple. Secure. Convenient.

Once you've set up you're ready to pay wherever you see the contactless or Google Pay logo.

Pay in-store

Wake your phone and place it near the contactless terminal like you would normally do with your card. If your transaction is more than $100, you’ll need to enter your PIN.

Pay online

For in-app or online purchases, look for the 'Buy with Google Pay' button.

Returning a purchase

It’s as simple as presenting your receipt – just like any other purchase. When the merchant asks you to swipe your card simply wake your phone and place it near the contactless terminal.

Keeping you secure

It’s our priority.

Protect your details

You’ll need to set a screen lock on your phone to use Google Pay.

Your details are never stored on your phone or shared with merchants when you make a purchase.

Track your payments

You’ll see a list of recent purchases in your card details screen.

You can also see the Google Pay transactions in online banking under the merchant’s name.

Payment alerts

For extra peace of mind, you can enable Bankwest Easy Alerts on the Bankwest App to receive notifications of contactless payments.

Adding your card to Google Pay takes just a few minutes.
