The great advance of technology has allowed everything to be digitized , to the point that cash has become obsolete for many people. In this era in which we find ourselves in which technology is at the forefront, people prefer to make their payments through credit or debit cards. Even now you can make payments with your mobile and you can carry your cards within your own Smartphone or Smartwatch , to make payment even easier and expedite everything. In fact, this method has been very useful during the pandemic as it is a contactless form of payment . However, this can lead to some problems at times, as is happening now with the ING bank in Spain. However, the company has already spoken out and there is an easy solution to the problem.
The problem that ING bank customers are suffering has to do with the mobile payments application Google Pay . This platform is available on phones with Android operating systems and allows you to make online payments using your mobile or smart watch through your Google account.
The only thing that we will need to be able to make the payment with the phone is to activate the NFC function that is in our device.
What is the problem?
It seems that ING customers who want to use Google Pay with their Android device to make any type of payment sometimes experience inconveniences when paying using this method. The reason for the inconvenience is a problem that the Google Pay application is having with some banks. This problem is also sometimes suffered by similar applications such as Apple Pay.
The problem is that when you go to pay with your mobile a few times or a certain amount is reached, the operation is denied.
How to solve it?
However, the solution to avoid having this problem is very simple: we will only have to take out our physical card and insert it into the dataphone of the establishment where we want to pay. We will only have to enter the PIN of our card and we will be able to make the payment without any problem.
Therefore, if you are an ING customer, we advise you to always carry your physical card with you to avoid possible scares when paying.
The logical thing would be for Google to work as soon as possible to solve these problems that should not be present. Making payments with your mobile is very comfortable and it would be a fiasco to make a payment in this way and discover that the transaction is canceled.
