According to KBC it's all very simple: Tap. Pay. Done. Android Pay has arrived. You can now use your Android phone to make contactless payments wherever you see the contactless payment or Android Pay symbols.

KBC add: Simply hold your Android phone near the contactless reader. It will beep and/or vibrate to show that your payment has been made. If you forgot your wallet, you can still pay for things using your phone.
Secure: A virtual account number is used to represent your card information so it isn’t stored on your device or shared with Google or the retailer. You may need your phone passcode to authorise payments, making it a secure way to pay.
You can use Android Pay on any compatible device running Android 4.4 or higher and have the Android Pay app downloaded.
