# Adding your Payhawk card to Google Wallet

You can add both your virtual and physical Payhawk cards to the Google Wallet app on Android devices directly from the Payhawk Mobile App.

> [!TIP]
> - Google Wallet doesn't support [work profiles](https://support.google.com/work/android/answer/6191949). Therefore, to be able to add your Payhawk VISA card to Google Wallet on your Android device, you must use your personal profile with the Google Wallet app.
> - If a device management policy on your Android device blocks the use of a personal Google account (for example, on managed corporate devices), you won’t be able to add your Payhawk card to Google Wallet. On iOS, Apple Wallet is not affected by this restriction.

## Supported Google Wallet payments

If you are based in Europe, the UK, or the US, you will be able to add your Payhawk cards to your Google Wallet and make contactless payments from your Android phone or smartwatch.
