Banks cannot guarantee their customers' privacy when they do business with Google Pay. The Consumentenbond, the Dutch consumer association, warned of this after ING also announced that customers with Android phones will have to use Google's payment system if they want to make payments with their device.

The Consumentenbond said that they have received various reports from consumers who are concerned about their privacy during contactless mobile phone payments due to the shutdown of ING's mobile payment app. Customers who want to pay with their Android will now have to install the Google Pay app.

According to the banks, sufficient agreements have been made with Google regarding their customers' privacy. But when the Consumentenbond asked about the agreements, it turned out that they did not exist, the consumer group said.

According to the Consumentenbond, consumers' data on iPhones who use Apple Pay seems to be better protected. Apple's privacy policies state that the company does not keep payment details.
