They explained: &#8220;My credit card arrived today but states in the app that it cannot be used on Google Pay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Is this a thing or do I just need to do a chip and PIN transaction before adding to Google Pay?&#8221; Lloyds replied to clarify the procedure for establishing the feature, reports <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/finance\/personalfinance\/2155412\/lloyds-bank-update-google-pay\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The bank stated: &#8220;You should be able to add your Lloyds credit card to Google Pay once it&#8217;s activated. Please make a chip-and-PIN transaction first, as this often enables contactless and digital wallet use.

To do so, customers should log into the app, select &#8216;Card&#8217; located in the bottom right corner, then choose &#8216;Google Pay&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Firstly, locate the debit or credit card you wish to incorporate and then opt for &#8216;Add to Google Pay&#8217;. Following this, verify your card details and agree to the terms and conditions, after which your card will be integrated into Google Pay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">An alternative method of setting up this feature is via your Google Wallet. To achieve this, download and launch the Google Wallet application.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Choose &#8216;Add to Google Wallet&#8217; and then select the card you wish to incorporate, adhering to the instructions displayed on-screen.
