Google Pay Terms & Conditions


These terms and conditions apply to the registration of your Savvy card in the Google Wallet app for Google Pay made available by Google. For the full terms and conditions relating to the use of your card and payments made through your card, including payments made through Google Pay, these conditions should be read together with the Savvy Card and Account Terms and Conditions.

These terms and conditions, the Savvy Card and Account Terms and Conditions, the Savvy Apple Pay Terms and Conditions (if applicable), Booster’s general terms and conditions and the Booster Savvy Fund Product Disclosure Statement together form your agreement with Booster in relation to your Savvy account.

If there are any inconsistencies between these terms and conditions and Booster’s general terms and conditions, these terms and conditions overrule Booster’s general terms and conditions (but only in relation to that difference).

Make sure you read and understand these documents. By registering your card for Google Wallet for Google Pay, you agree that you have read, understood, and will comply with these terms and conditions.

Adding and removing your card

You will need to agree to, and comply with, Google’s Google Pay terms and conditions in order to register your card and use it with Google Wallet and Google Pay.

You can add your card to Google Wallet on supported devices. You will be required to enter a verification code when adding your card. You should ensure that your correct mobile number is recorded in mybooster so that you can receive a verification code via text message.

You can remove your card from Google Wallet at any time through the Google Wallet app.

If we cancel and replace your physical card for any reason, you may have to set it up again in Google Wallet.

Google Wallet and Google Pay are provided by Google

Google Wallet and Google Pay are provided by Google, not by us. We also do not provide your supported device. Our only role in relation to Google Wallet and Google Pay is to securely supply information to Google so you can register your card in Google Wallet and use your card through Google Pay.

Google access to information

Once your card is registered to your supported device, Google may access your personal information regarding the use of your card through Google Wallet for Google Pay. Please see Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ for more information.

Contactless transactions

You can use Google Pay to

  • make contactless transactions by holding your supported device near a contactless terminal; and
  • make payments through participating apps and online with participating merchants.

You may be required to enter your PIN into the terminal, to sign or to enter yoursupported device security credentials to use Google Pay to complete a transaction (including for contactless transactions over certain transaction limits).

Lost or stolen card

If you need to block the token loaded onto your Google Wallet, please call Booster on 0800 336 338 (or +64 4 894 4300 if calling from overseas) as soon as practicable.

Card cancellation

We may block or cancel your ability to use your digital card to make transactions using Google Pay at any time if we believe we have good reason to do so.

Changes to these terms and conditions

These terms and conditions may be varied by us at any time. We will endeavour to provide notice by email, mail, text, mybooster, or on our website. If you continue to keep your card registered in Google Pay after the date specified in the notice, you will be deemed to have accepted the changes.

Enforceability

If any provision or part of a provision of these terms and conditions is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it will be severed from these terms and conditions and the remaining provisions (or parts of provisions) will continue in full force and effect.
