How to add your Cleva Classic Card to Google Pay
Once you have everything ready, follow these steps.
Step 1: Open Google Wallet
Open the Google Wallet app on your Android phone.
If you don’t already have it installed, download it from the Google Play Store.
Tap “Add to Wallet” or “Add a card”, depending on the version of the app you’re using.
Step 2: Select a payment card
Select “Payment card” and then choose “New credit or debit card.”
Google Wallet will give you the option to scan your card or enter the details manually.
Step 3: Enter your Cleva Classic Card details
Open your Cleva app and go to your Cleva Classic Card.
Enter your:
- Card number
- Expiry date
- CVV
You can enter these details manually or use your phone’s camera if the option is available.
Make sure the information matches the details shown in your Cleva app.
Step 4: Review and accept the terms
Review the terms provided by Google and your card issuer.
If you’re happy with them, tap Accept or continue with the setup.
Step 5: Verify your card
You may be asked to verify your card before you can start using it.
Follow the verification instructions shown on your screen and complete the required verification.
Step 6: You’re all set
Once verification is complete, your Cleva Classic Card will be added to Google Wallet.
You can now select Google Pay when paying at supported online checkouts or in supported apps and services.
Where can you use your Cleva Classic Card with Google Pay?
Once your card is successfully added, you can use Google Pay wherever it’s supported and your Cleva Classic Card is eligible for the transaction.
This can include:
- Online checkouts: Pay at websites that offer Google Pay as a payment option.
- In-app payments: Use Google Pay in supported apps and services.
Your Cleva Classic Card gives you access to USD spending, so you can use it for eligible international payments without needing to fund a separate card balance first.
Is Google Pay safe to use with your Cleva Classic Card?
Google Pay uses security features designed to help protect your payment information.
When you add a card to Google Wallet, your actual card details aren’t simply shared with every merchant during a payment. Google uses a virtual account number or token in supported transactions, helping keep your card information more secure.
You may also need to unlock or authenticate your device before completing certain payments.
As an additional precaution, you can manage your Cleva Classic Card from the Cleva app and take action if you notice a transaction you don’t recognise.
What if I can’t add my Cleva Classic Card to Google Pay?
If you’re having trouble adding your card, first check that:
- Your Cleva Classic Card is active.
- You’ve entered the card details correctly.
- Your Android device supports Google Pay.
- Your Google Wallet app is up to date.
- Your device and region support the relevant Google Pay functionality.
If you’ve checked these and still can’t add your card, take a screenshot of the error message and contact Cleva Support so our team can investigate.
