Verify or change your billing email address

Applies to editions of Google Workspace and other paid subscriptions in your Google Admin console.

When you set up your Google billing account, you provide an email address where we can send secure information about your billing and payments. Protecting your financial information is important to Google, so before we send messages about your account to any address, we need you to verify that the address is really yours. Also, if you ever want us to send billing messages to another address, you should update your billing account with the new address.

Verify your billing email address

1. Open your email and look for an email from @google.com titled Google Billing: Verify your email address.
2. Click the link in the email to verify your address.

That's it! We’ll now send information about your billing and payments to this address.

What if the link has expired?

If you received the email from Google to verify your address, but the link in the email is expired, just send yourself another verification email.
