We ask you to verify ownership of any bank account that you add to your account, unless the bank account is in a country where Google makes deposits via bank transfer.

1. After you add a new bank account, Google makes a small deposit within two working days. Your bank may take up to three additional days to register the transaction.
2. Review your online bank statement or contact your bank to locate the deposit, labelled as GOOGLE DEPOSIT or something similar.
3. Edit the payment profile with the bank account that you want to verify in the Payment Centre.
4. To verify your bank account, go to the 'How you get paid' box and enter the deposit amount.

If you locate the test deposit but can't confirm the amount in your account, contact us. If you fail to receive the test deposit, check the list of potential reasons.

If you sell any books before you verify your bank account, your account accrues the amount owed to you until you can receive payments.

If you want to change your bank account information, you must edit the payment profile and add a new bank account. Make sure that you set it as the primary payment method. Optionally, you can remove the details for the old bank account.

You must verify the new bank account unless it's in a country where Google makes deposits via bank transfer.

Important: You can't remove the only verified bank account from your payments profile. To remove a bank account, first add and verify a new account. Set your new account as your primary account and then remove the old one.

If you want payments to be made to more than one bank account, set up additional payment profiles. Only one bank account can be active for each payment profile. You can associate a different payment profile with each sales territory if you have multiple sales territories.

Tip: If you’re a service provider, you may receive payments from multiple publishers in one bank account. You can match the payment numbers in payment receipts to your bank’s data.

If you sell books in US dollars, you must provide tax information for each payment profile that receives revenue from transactions made in US dollars. Otherwise, payments for that profile will be held by Google. To submit tax information, edit a payment profile and go to the 'Payee profile'.

To be notified about any errors with bank account setup or other payments settings, provide at least one payments contact email address:

1. Sign in to the Partner Centre at play.google.com/books/publish.
2. Select Payment Centre.
3. Next to the payment profile, select Edit.
4. Select Manage settings.
5. Scroll to 'Payments contacts'.
6. Contacts must verify their email address through an email from payments-noreply@google.com.

Contacts receive notifications from payments-noreply@google.com whenever an action is needed with a bank account or other payments settings. They also receive a simple notification whenever a payment is issued, which is usually once a month.
