When you link an eligible prepaid card to Google Pay, you can access a quick and convenient way to use your prepaid card online, in-store, and within other apps.
Google Pay removes the need to share cardholder data with the merchant. Instead, using tokenization technology and multifactor authentication (MFA), Google Pay generates an anonymous account “token” that is used to verify the prepaid card and process your payment at merchant point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
Tired of fumbling for your prepaid card in your purse or wallet? Lucky for you, once your prepaid card is enrolled in Google Pay, all you need is your Android device! Safe and secure, Google Pay’s tap functionality uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to send a prepaid card account token to the merchant instead of your prepaid card number. To use the Google Pay feature, simply tap your Android device at the POS terminal, and verify the transaction using your phone.
To pay with your Android device, just hold the back near the payment terminal. When the blue checkmark appears, you’ll know the payment has been approved and processed.
What’s more, if you lose your Android device, you can use Google’s “Find My Device” service to locate, lock, and if necessary, erase the data on your device.
If your region’s transportation system accepts contactless or mobile app payments, you can use your prepaid card on Google Pay to purchase a ride.
To pay, hold your phone near the transit payment terminal and wait for the blue checkmark.
You can also purchase transit tickets from participating transit authorities through Google Pay’s in-app “Passes” feature. These tickets can be shown to attendants before boarding.
You may require a mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to make Google Pay transactions in-store.
A mobile data or Wi-Fi connection is required to add a card to Google Pay, receive transaction notifications, and to update your device's security settings after a factory data reset.
To add a payment card to Google Pay, follow these steps:
If your mobile number is registered with Color Street Pay Portal, you will be prompted to provide additional verification using a One-Time Passcode (OTP) sent by text message.
If your mobile number is NOT registered with Color Street Pay Portal, you will be prompted to verify by calling our Customer Support team.
NFC must be enabled in order to use Google Pay in-store. To turn on NFC, check your device’s settings or visit your manufacturer's support site for assistance.
For transactions under $100 USD, simply wake up your device, hold the back near the contactless payment terminal, then wait for the beep and blue checkmark. You do not need to open the Google Pay app, however for additional security you may occasionally be required to unlock your device.
For transactions over $100 USD*, unlock your device and hold the back near the contactless payment terminal. Wait for the blue checkmark and beep or vibration confirming that the payment has been processed.
*Google Pay transactions above certain amounts may not be supported by some merchant payment terminals.
