These Terms of Use govern the use of your PayPal Account (“PayPal Account” or “Account”) in Google Pay (“PayPal in Google Pay”). They supplement the PayPal User Agreement that governs your use of PayPal’s services in general.

To use PayPal in Google Pay, an appropriate bank account must have been successfully added as a Verified (as defined in section 10.7.2 of the User Agreement) funding instrument attached to your PayPal account.
We will issue you with a virtual card (a Mastercard consumer debit card) that enables you to use PayPal in Google Pay.

When you use PayPal in Google Pay for a transaction, i.e. give a payment order, you are obliged to reimburse the transaction amount to us.
To this end, you authorize us to debit the respective amount from your PayPal balance.
To the extent that there is no or an insufficient balance available to fund such transaction, you hereby authorize PayPal to draw the amount from your bank account via direct debit, to credit this amount in your PayPal balance and to use it immediately for the payment with PayPal in Google Pay.
This means we will prioritize your PayPal balance for a payment with PayPal in Google Pay and only draw the amount from your bank account via direct debit to the extent that the balance is insufficient.
It is possible to maintain balances in different currencies in your PayPal account. However, balances in currencies other than EUR (that were in your PayPal account prior to the transaction) will not be used to fulfil our payment obligation pursuant to section 6.
Example: You have a US dollar balance in your PayPal account. If you make a payment to a merchant in the US using PayPal in Google Pay, we will not use this US dollar balance. We will only use your Euro balance and possibly the euro amount which we pull from your bank account via direct debit for the payment. The Euro balance/Euro amount will be converted to US dollars.
The payment is initiated by the payee, namely the merchant.
If we receive the payment order on a business day after 4 pm CET, then the payment order is deemed to be received on the next business day. Execution times (as defined below) only start running at the point of time that a payment order is deemed to be received.

In case the payment with PayPal in Google Pay involves a currency conversion, Mastercard’s foreign exchange rates will be applied. The exchange rate that is applied will usually be the rate on the date that the transaction was authorized.

PayPal does not charge currency conversion fees. Please see Mastercard Currency Conversion Calculator for Mastercard’s rates.
