  • While paying a payment through a terminal the screen should be on. Now hold a phone to the hub.

How does the Android Pay Works?

If your payments and transactions are lower than £30 then, the Android App needs not to be open. This can be done without unlocking your phone but the screen should be on.

You need to enter security code, finger print or lock pattern if your transaction is above £30. A unique code is generated every time a transaction is done.

What is the Limit?

You can pay any amounts set by individual bank and merchant. For UK it is £30.

If the phone is lost or stolen, it can be located, wiped and locked remotely by Android Device Manager.

Android Pay has a huge potential in UK. If People here found that it is convenient and simple then, using cards will become old fashioned. The dream of phone becoming the mobile wallet will become reality.
