Is Google Pay safe and secure for making payments? How does Unitus Community Credit Union protect me against fraud?

The safety and security of your account information is of the highest importance.

As a security measure, you may receive a “verification required” message when adding your card to Google Pay. Once verified, an on-screen message will appear stating that the card is ready for use. This verification is part of our multi-layered approach to security in payments.

Additionally, when we review mobile wallet providers we look for payment safety, quality of service, and ease of use for our members. When you make payments with Google Pay and your Unitus Community Credit Union card:

• Your full card number is not stored on your mobile device.
• All transactions are monitored 24×7 by Unitus Community Credit Unions risk and fraud detection systems.
• Purchases made using Google Pay are protected by Visa’s Zero Liability Policy, so you won’t be held responsible for promptly reported unauthorized transactions.
