LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Republic Bank is now offering clients the ability to use Android Pay, in
addition to Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, to conduct payment transactions
with their Republic Bank consumer credit and debit cards. With Android
Pay, clients can easily make purchases in a single touch using
compatible Android devices.
As with all Republic Bank products and services, security and privacy is
at the forefront of Android Pay. When Republic Bank clients add their
consumer credit or debit card to Android Pay, the actual card numbers
are not stored on the device. Instead, using tokenization, a unique and
temporary credit card is created for each transaction use. In addition,
Android also eliminates the need for retailers to see customer names,
card numbers or card security codes.
Users will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered
by their Republic Bank MasterCard credit and debit cards, including Zero
Liability Protection.
“We continually look for innovative approaches to make the lives of our
clients easier,” said Michael Sadofsky, Senior Vice President of
Marketing. “We are excited to add Android Pay to our current mobile
wallet solutions of Apple Pay and Samsung Pay as easy, secure payment
solutions that allow our clients to bank when, where and how they want.”
Android Pay will work on any Android device running version 4.4 (KitKat)
or later and an NFC chip inside.
