Common Google Wallet problems and how to fix them

Card won't add to Google Wallet

Update the Wallet app, confirm your bank supports it and that your phone has a screen lock. Your bank may need to verify the card.

Tap-to-pay not working

Turn on NFC, set Google Wallet as the default payment app, and unlock the phone before tapping.

Unrecognized Google Pay charge

Review it at pay.google.com. For Google Payment errors call the number above; for card charges contact your bank.

Payment declined

Try another card and check with your card issuer — declines are decided by the bank, not Google.

Lost phone

Use Find My Device to lock or erase the phone — this removes access to Wallet. Google never calls to ask for codes.

Common Google Wallet scams to avoid

  • Anyone calling as 'Google Wallet support' — Google doesn't make unsolicited support calls.
  • Requests to buy Google Play gift cards to pay a bill or fine.
  • Texts asking you to verify a card with a code you didn't request — that code adds your card to the scammer's phone.
  • Fake 'Google Pay' sites or apps outside the Play Store.
