Is Android Pay secure?

Yes, Theoretically.

It was working with leading financial institutions and financial payment gateway integration networks to deliver standard security tokenisation. With tokenization, the retailer receives a newly-generated, 16-digit virtual number instead of your actual account number. So, should there be a major credit card data breach at a retailer, you’ll at least know your card is safe.

Android Pay’s tokenization is different from Apple Pay’s in that tokens aren’t generated in a secure chip within the phone but rather within the cloud. Android Pay also works at the places without internet, the application will still be able to access some tokens that are stored on your mobile devices, allowing you pay for your goods.

Android Pay emerges towards digitalization, with opportunities in empowering mobile payments. It also becomes an opportunity for Android app developers to incorporate Android Pay API in their application, with payment gateway integration of more banks to facilitating this feature. Also, agents can accept payment using the contactless-enabled terminal in their shop. Hence, Android Pay is making revolution in building an era of mobile payment gateway integration that benefits every android users.
