The Google Pay app is available for smartphones and tablets with Android 4.4 KitKat and above. Google Pay can be used at hundreds of millions of stores nationwide.

Google Pay is easy and secure! Once you’ve added your Salem Five debit card to the Google Pay app and you’re ready to make a purchase using Google Pay, a substitute device account number and a transaction specific code are used to process payments. You still enjoy all the benefits of your Salem Five debit card, including Visa’s Zero Liability protection from unauthorized purchases.

Getting Started

It’s easy to add your consumer Salem Five debit card to Google Pay.

Simply download and open the Google Pay app on your eligible Android mobile device to get started.

If you already have a Salem Five debit card in your Google account, you can quickly import it into Google Pay by confirming a few details.

To add a Salem Five debit card that is not in your Google account, enter your card information manually or use your device camera when prompted to capture it automatically. Google Pay will perform a simple validation with Salem Five before the card is ready to use.


How to use Google Pay in participating stores:

  1. When you're ready to check out, look for the Google Pay or contactless payments symbol where you normally swipe your card.



  2. When you see this symbol at checkout, hold your Android device in front of the secure reader to initiate your payment. The contactless reader communicates wirelessly with your phone, so all you need to do is tap, pay and you’re done!

  • When adding your debit card to Google Pay, you will also be adding your card to Google Payments.
