What happens if I replace or upgrade a smart device on which I use a digital wallet?

If you replace or upgrade your device, you will need to add your card(s) to Google Pay again.

Please ensure that you remove your card(s) from any device before selling, exchanging, or disposing of it. You should also remove your card if you temporarily pass your device to someone else; for example, if you pass it to be repaired.

You can remove a card from Google Pay at any time. Select the card within the Google Pay app, and tap 'Remove card'. You can also go to Android Device Manager to remotely erase all the data in the device, including your card(s).
