Sign In to Your Google Account
You’ll need to sign in with your Google account. If you don’t have one, you may need to create a new account.
Set Up a Secure Access Method
To keep your wallet secure, you can choose one of the following methods for access:
- PIN Code
- Fingerprint
- Face Recognition
Add a Payment Method
- Tap ‘Add Card’: In the app, find the option to add a payment card.
- Scan or Enter Details: You can either scan your card with your camera or enter the details manually.
- Follow Prompts: Complete the process by following the on-screen instructions.
