Terms and conditions update: From 24 August, we're updating our Savings Account and Payment Services T&Cs, including transaction and payment limits. Learn more.
When adding cards to Google Pay a Virtual Account Number is created in place of your card account number. This number is used when you make a payment with Google Pay (or a refund of that payment), so that your card account number isn't shared with the merchant and won't appear on the receipt. Each time you add a card to Google Pay, a new virtual account number is created.
