Due to the nature of NFC, you may however be prompted to connect to the internet if you have not done so for an extended period of time to ensure you can use the app in stores.

There can be several reasons why a transaction is declining. First, you should check for the following issues:

  • Is there a message “Verification Needed” below the card in Google Wallet? If this message is displayed, you’ll need to complete the verification process by requesting a one-time verification code. You will not be able to use Google Pay until this is completed.
  • Is your Near Field Communications (NFC) switched off on your mobile device? If so, switch it on.
  • Check to make sure you have an internet connection
  • Make sure your card is activated, is not locked or cancelled
  • Check to see if your card has expired
  • Check to ensure you have sufficient funds
