Where and how can I use Google Pay – in-store or online?

In Stores - Pay contactless with your Android Phone

Google Pay works anywhere contactless payments are accepted. Just wake your Android phone and hold it near the terminal until you see a check mark. You don't even need to open the App. 

In Apps and on the web - Pay as quick as you click

Use Google Pay to check out even faster. Once you've added a card, you won't need to enter your payment info again. Just confirm your purchase and you're all set.

Does Google Pay use my actual card details?

When making purchases using Google Pay, your physical card number is replaced with a ‘token’ to pay for transactions. Google Pay protects your payment info with multiple layers of security to help keep your account safe.

Yes, to remove a card from your digital wallet, simply open Google Pay, click on the card in your digital wallet and tap ‘remove’.  This doesn't affect the use of your physical card.

Will I continue to earn loyalty or rewards benefits from my credit and debit card(s) when using Google Pay?

Google Pay transactions will not impact any loyalty or rewards programs you have with Heritage. They will be treated like any other card transaction.

Are my Google Pay purchases protected from fraudulent transactions?

Whether you use a digital wallet or a physical Visa card, you are protected with Visa Zero Liability# against fraudulent transactions.

My Google Pay isn’t working.

If Google Pay isn't working make sure your card is set up correctly on your device.

To make a purchase in-store, you need to have the NFC settings turned on in your device settings.

Then open the Google Pay App and ensure your device screen is active. Purchases cannot be processed if the screen is inactive or locked.

When you hold your device in front of a contactless reader, the token stored in the digital wallet will be transmitted directly to that contactless reader.

Digital Wallet help

What if my physical Visa card is lost or stolen?

If your Visa card is lost or stolen you’ll need to report this to Heritage as soon as possible so that we can cancel your Visa card. 

Once you report your card as lost or stolen, you will no longer be able to use your physical card.  If your card has been loaded onto a digital wallet, you will still be able to make transactions and your card details will automatically be updated when you activate your new card.

Follow our steps to report a lost, stolen or damaged card using your Heritage Mobile Banking App. If you do not have the Heritage Mobile Banking App, you can cancel your card in Heritage Online or contact us for assistance. 

If you notice any unauthorised transactions, we can help you dispute a transaction.

What should I do with my digital wallet when I receive a new or a replacement card?

If you've received a new card your digital wallet will automatically update to take payments from your new card.

If you require assistance during this process visit our FAQ's or call us 24/7 on 13 14 22.

How will digital wallet purchases appear on my statement?

Digital wallet transactions appear on your statement the same as any card transaction performed on your account.

What payment information will be on my receipt when I pay with a digital wallet?
