Google Pay shows you the last four digits of your debit card number. These digits do not correspond to your IBAN number or card number. That's why you don't recognise the number.
How to check your card number
Do you have a new-style ABN AMRO debit card? The card number is printed on the back of your card. The last four digits of the card number correspond to the four digits of your digital debit card in Google Pay.
Do you have an old-style ABN AMRO debit card? Look at the last digit of your account number and the first two digits of your card number. This combination is the same as the first three digits on your digital debit card in Google Pay.
Yes, you can add multiple debit cards. As devices do not share digital debit cards, if you want to use the same debit card on two different devices, you will need to add the debit card on each device separately. You choose a debit card as the default debit card that you want to use with Google Pay.

For larger amounts (over €50), you will need to unlock your phone using your security code, facial recognition or your fingerprint.
