Auto-pay with a bank account (direct debit)

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

In some locations, you can pay for your Google service subscription by having Google automatically deduct payments from your bank account (called direct debit). Just add the bank account to your Google billing account and make it your primary payment method. After that, we’ll debit that account for your automatic payments. Note that bank accounts that only support disbursements are not accepted for payment.

Paying by bank account is available in the U.S., the U.K., and some other European countries. See Payment options in my country.

Auto-pay with a bank account (direct debit) is not available to accounts with Individual VAT Status. See VAT overview.

Add a bank account

For Voice subscriptions, paying by bank account is available only in the U.S.

When you add a bank account, it might be several days before we can debit payment from the account. If your monthly payment is due in the meantime, we’ll continue to charge your current primary payment method.

Sign in with an administrator account to the Google Admin console.
If you aren’t using an administrator account, you can’t access the Admin console.
Go to Menu Billing > Payment accounts.

Requires having the Billing Management administrator privilege.
Next to your subscription, click View payment methods.
Click Add Payment Method.
Select Add a bank account. Then, enter your bank account information and save your changes.
Verify your bank account like this:
Within the next 3 days, a small test deposit from Google will appear in your bank account. Enter the exact amount of this deposit on your payment methods page. See Verify bank account with test deposit.
(Recommended) If your current primary payment method can’t be charged, add a credit card as a temporary payment method until your new bank account gets verified (which can take several days). That way, you don’t risk suspension if we have to charge your account in the meantime. See Auto-pay with a credit card.
(Important) After your account is verified: On the Payment methods screen, in the lower-left corner of the bank account entry, click None and select Primary.

It takes about 2 days to verify your account. During this time, you'll see a Mandate pending alert under your bank account on the Payment methods page. You don't need to do anything if you see this alert. If verification fails, the alert changes to Mandate rejected. Contact your bank for details, or add a credit card as your primary payment method instead. See Auto-pay with a credit card.
