How to make an online payment
During checkout when buying online, choose Google Pay as your payment method. Next time, you won't have to repeat the process or add your card again.
Security in transactions
Google Pay offers multi-layered protection for your payments. By adding your BoC card to Google Pay, a digital number is created, different from the one on your physical card. When making a transaction, the merchant receives this digital number, not your card details. In this way, your personal data is protected and not shared with third parties.
