About payment methods for Google Ads

 
PayPal is temporarily unavailable for new accounts using automatic payments. You can still sign up using PayPal for manual payments.

OOO Google (Google Russia) filed for bankruptcy in Russia in June 2022 and is no longer operating. On 18 October 2023, the bankruptcy court announced the start of the liquidation phase of Google Russia’s bankruptcy proceedings. During this phase, a court-appointed liquidator will manage Google Russia and its liquidation.

These insolvency proceedings are governed by the Insolvency Law of the Russian Federation. More information about these proceedings is available on the court’s website (link) and the official bankruptcy register (link).

A payment method is what you use to pay for Google Ads.

The payment methods available for your account depend on your currency and country selection, and sometimes also your payment setting (manual, automatic or monthly invoicing). Below are all of the currently available payment methods available in your country (make sure the correct country is selected in the dropdown above). For a precise list of what's available for your country and currency, check the payment options tool.

Note: The payment options below are the only ones available at the moment. In some cases, certain payment methods may be temporarily unavailable while Google Ads reviews your account’s eligibility to use them.

As of 10 December 2020, Google Pay won’t be accepted for payments for Google Ads in India. We’re working to make this payment method available again in the future. In the meantime, you can use other payment methods per below to keep your ads running.

Available payment methods

Boleto is temporarily unavailable for new Google Ads accounts in Brazil. Advertisers will not be able to sign up using this payment method and will not see the option (or will see it grayed out if they use Boleto for other Google products) in the Google Ads interface. Existing customers using cards, PIX or Mercado Pago as a form of payment will not be able to make Boleto payments either.

This change doesn't apply to accounts on Monthly Invoicing.

Available payment methods

Bank account (also known as direct debit)

With this payment method, Google deducts your payments for Google Ads from your bank account.

How it works

If you use the automatic payment setting, we'll automatically charge your bank account after you've accrued advertising costs. You'll be billed 30 days after your last automatic payment, or when your costs reach a certain amount (known as your billing threshold), whichever comes first.

If you use the manual payment setting, you can manually make a payment and we'll charge your bank account.

Setup

To use this payment method, you'll need to first save payment information in your Google Ads account and then verify your bank account. This process will vary depending on your country. Here's how to set up a bank account as your payment method:

Note: The instructions below are part of the new design for the Google Ads user experience. To use the previous design, click the "Appearance" icon, and select Use previous design. If you're using the previous version of Google Ads, review the Quick reference map or use the Search bar in the top navigation panel of Google Ads to find the page you’re searching for.
  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Payment methods.
  3. Click the Add a new payment method.
  4. Select Bank account, fill out your bank information, and agree to the terms and conditions provided.
  5. To make this your primary payment method, make sure the box is checked next to "Set this payment method as primary".
  6. Click the Save button.

What to expect

  • It can take several days to process your payment.
  • If your account is new, your ads will run once you've verified your bank account. If you'd like your ads to show in the meantime, you can use a credit card to pay for costs.
  • If your account isn't new, just assign your bank account as a primary payment method. Again, it'll work once your bank account is verified.
  • If you don't want your ads to run immediately after your bank account is verified, be sure to pause your campaigns.
  • Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.
  • Bank accounts that support disbursements only (for example, Payoneer) are not accepted for payment.
Pix

You can use Pix if your account is on the manual payments setting, has a billing address in Brazil, and has a selected currency of the Brazilian Real (BRL).

To initiate a payment by Pix:

  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Summary.
  3. Click the Add funds button.
  4. Select Pix as your payment method.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to pay and click Make a payment.
  6. Scan the QR code from your banking app, or copy or download the code displayed in the screen.
Credit cards and debit cards

In addition to certain types of credit cards, we also accept debit cards with the Visa, MasterCard, or China UnionPay logo. You can use a credit or debit card no matter if you're on automatic payments (you're automatically charged after your ads run) or manual payments (you put funds into your account before your ads run). Here's how to do it, based on the payment setting of your account:

Make a payment with a one-time use credit card

In addition to regular credit cards, you can also use a one-time use credit card (also known as virtual credit card). It's commonly used as an alternative to physical credit cards when making online payments. Google Ads accepts these credit cards as long as they have a Visa, MasterCard, or China UnionPay logo. If you don't have a physical credit card, contact your bank to see if they offer them.

Steps to use a one-time use credit card:

Note: The instructions below are part of the new design for the Google Ads user experience. To use the previous design, click the "Appearance" icon, and select Use previous design. If you're using the previous version of Google Ads, review the Quick reference map or use the Search bar in the top navigation panel of Google Ads to find the page you’re searching for.
  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Summary.
  3. Click the Make a payment button.
  4. Click the "Pay with" drop-down and choose Add new payment method, then enter your one-time use credit card information.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to make a payment for, then click the Make a payment button to review and finish your payment. Be sure to include $1 more than your payment amount for card verification.

What to expect

In some cases, Google Ads may test a small charge on your card to make sure it's valid. You won't actually pay that test amount, but the amount of your payment will be reduced by it. For example, if you decide to charge $300 to your card, Google Ads may make a test charge of $1 and your card will be charged $299 to run ads.

Just like physical credit cards, your ads will start serving almost immediately after you've made a payment.

Once your one-time use card's expiration date or credit limit is reached, be sure to generate another one-time use card and enter the information in your account for future payments. Otherwise, your payment could be declined. For all other payment declines, please contact your local banks.

Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.

Make a payment with a one-time use credit card

In addition to regular credit cards, you can also use a one-time use credit card (also known as virtual credit card). It's commonly used as an alternative to physical credit cards when making online payments. Google Ads accepts these credit cards as long as they have a Visa or MasterCard logo. If you don't have a physical credit card, contact your bank to see if they offer them.

Steps to use a one-time use credit card:

Note: The instructions below are part of the new design for the Google Ads user experience. To use the previous design, click the "Appearance" icon, and select Use previous design. If you're using the previous version of Google Ads, review the Quick reference map or use the Search bar in the top navigation panel of Google Ads to find the page you’re searching for.
  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Summary.
  3. Click the Make a payment button.
  4. Click the "Pay with" drop-down and choose Add new payment method, then enter your one-time use credit card information.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to make a payment for, then click the Make a payment button to review and finish your payment. Be sure to include $1 more than your payment amount for card verification.

What to expect

In some cases, Google Ads may test a small charge on your card to make sure it's valid. You won't actually pay that test amount, but the amount of your payment will be reduced by it. For example, if you decide to charge $300 to your card, Google Ads may make a test charge of $1 and your card will be charged $299 to run ads.

Just like physical credit cards, your ads will start serving almost immediately after you've made a payment.

Once your one-time use card's expiration date or credit limit is reached, be sure to generate another one-time use card and enter the information in your account for future payments. Otherwise, your payment could be declined. For all other payment declines, please contact your local banks.

Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.

Credit cards and debit cards

In addition to certain types of credit cards, we also accept debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo. You can use a credit or debit card no matter if you're on automatic payments (you're automatically charged after your ads run) or manual payments (you put funds into your account before your ads run). Here's how to do it, based on the payment setting of your account:

Note: If your card issuer or bank is in the European Economic Area, they may require you to go through an additional authentication process, such as a one-time code sent to your phone, to verify the ownership of your card.  Your card issuer or bank may require this extra verification when you make a payment, add a new credit or debit card, or at the card issuer or bank’s discretion. 

Google complies with the new security requirements imposed on banks and payment processors by the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) in the European Economic Area. If you have any questions, please contact your card issuer or bank directly.

If you're using the previous version of Google Ads, review the Quick reference map or use the Search bar in the top navigation panel of Google Ads to find the page you’re searching for.
  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Summary.
  3. Click the Make a payment button.
  4. Click the "Pay with" drop-down and choose Add new payment method, then enter your one-time use credit card information.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to make a payment for, then click the Make a payment button to review and finish your payment. Be sure to include $1 more than your payment amount for card verification.

What to expect

In some cases, Google Ads may test a small charge on your card to make sure it's valid. You won't actually pay that test amount, but the amount of your payment will be reduced by it. For example, if you decide to charge $300 to your card, Google Ads may make a test charge of $1 and your card will be charged $299 to run ads.

Just like physical credit cards, your ads will start serving almost immediately after you've made a payment.

Once your one-time use card's expiration date or credit limit is reached, be sure to generate another one-time use card and enter the information in your account for future payments. Otherwise, your payment could be declined. For all other payment declines, please contact your local banks.

Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.

Credit cards

In addition to certain types of credit cards, we also accept debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo. You can use a credit or debit card no matter if you're on automatic payments (you're automatically charged after your ads run) or manual payments (you put funds into your account before your ads run). Here's how to do it, based on the payment setting of your account:

Credit card payments in Argentina are billed out of Google LLC (as Google Argentina doesn’t support local card payments yet). This means that, if your account is set to manual payments and an international credit card is selected as form of Payment, you will not receive local statutory documents. However, you can pay using Banelco and PagoMisCuentas.com instead to receive your local document. See the link below for more information on how to make manual payments through Banelco.

Banelco and PagoMisCuentas.com

Making payments through Banelco and PagoMisCuentas.com is available only to Google Ads accounts that have a billing address in Argentina and the Argentine Peso (ARS) as the selected currency. If you select Banelco or PagoMisCuentas.com as your account's payment method, you'll be able to make payments in four ways:

  • At an ATM in the Banelco network
  • On the PagoMisCuentas.com website
  • Via your bank's online banking service
  • In the counters available for cash payments

After you choose this payment method, your Google Ads account will be assigned a unique reference number. Make sure to include this number whenever making a payment so that we can match the funds to your account. Payments will typically reach your Google Ads account within three to five business days.

Participating banks

To make a payment via Banelco, you must have an account with a bank in the Banelco network, except if you make cash payments in one of the available counters.

Register, verify, make payments with, or remove your credit or debit card

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) requires all online credit and debit card transactions to be processed using enhanced security procedures. This extra step, which includes credit and debit card verification, helps ensure that your card isn't misused.

What to expect (automatic payments)

If you've set up your account on the automatic payments setting and registered a credit card, you'll be charged after your ads run and you accrue advertising costs. Note that you can’t set up automatic payments with a debit card. Once you add a credit card as a primary payment method to your account, the card's automatically charged after your advertising costs reach a predetermined amount or 30 days after your last automatic charge, whichever comes first.

Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.

Note: Google does not accept prepaid cards for automatic payments.

Use money transfer for your account
Note: The instructions below are part of the new design for the Google Ads user experience. To use the previous design, click the "Appearance" icon, and select Use previous design.

  6. After making sure that the payment information is correct, click the Submit and generate reference number button to generate a transfer information form. This form provides all the information you need to make a money transfer, including a unique reference number if it's needed for your location. If it is, the number might be unique to your Google Ads account, which means it can only be used for this specific account. You should generate a new reference number for each transfer you make.
  7. Print the form or write down the information provided.
  8. Follow the information on your form to initiate a money transfer. This process varies from bank to bank, so ask your bank for its specific instructions.

To process your payment, you'll need to include your unique reference number on your bank's transfer form. If the form's Notes field or Reference number field doesn't have enough room for the entire number, enter the number in the Name field before, or instead of, your name. Remember that the reference number is found on the transfer information form that you generated in your Google Ads account. It's different from your Google Ads Customer ID.

What to expect

Once we receive your money transfer, we'll send you an email. You ads will typically start running then if they had stopped or if this is your first payment. If you're refreshing your balance, your ads will continue running.

Processing time: two to five business days, depending on your location. In some cases, it can take up to 30 days. That's because a money transfer depends on a few factors, including local bank processes. Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.

You'll get an email confirming your updated balance in 5-10 business days.

Delays

If you're worried that your money transfer is taking too long, there are a couple things you can do to check that your payment is on its way:

  • Check that your funds have been withdrawn from your bank account. If they haven't, contact your bank.
  • Check with your bank that the funds were transferred to the correct account. The account number should be the same as the one listed in our payment instructions (generated when you made a money transfer payment in your Google Ads account).

If it's been over two weeks since you initiated the transfer and you still don't see your payment reflected in your account, you can contact us. You'll need to include a valid proof of payment with this contact form (by clicking the "Choose File" button). Click the link below to see more about a valid proof of payment:

  8. Review the amount and confirm it by clicking the Make payment button.
  9. You'll be redirected to the website of our payment partner, GlobalCollect. Once there, you'll complete your payment through the GiroPay network's secure interface.

What to expect

Funds will be credited to your Google Ads account typically within two hours, but it can sometimes take longer. Be sure to keep all payment records and receipts until you see that the payment has reached your Google Ads account.

Processing time: Two hours, usually. A transfer depends on a number of factors, including your bank's processes.

Delays

If you're worried that your payment is taking too long, there are a couple things you can do to check that it's on its way:

  • Check that your funds have been withdrawn from your bank account. If they haven't, contact your bank.
  • Check with your bank that the funds were transferred to the correct account. The account number should be the same as the one listed in our payment instructions (generated when you made a money transfer payment in your Google Ads account).

If it's been over three days since you initiated the transfer and you still don't see your payment reflected in your account, you can contact us. You'll need to include a valid proof of payment with this form (by clicking the "Choose File" button). Click the link below to see more about a valid proof of payment:

How to include a valid proof of payment

A valid proof of payment follows these guidelines:

  • It can be a scanned copy of your receipt or a screenshot of your bank's online statement.
  • It must be in an uneditable format, such as .jpg, .gif, or .png.
  • It must include the following information:
    • The date the transfer was made. If possible, show all transactions for five days before and after the payment.
    • The amount and currency of the payment.
    • The beneficiary of the funds (Google Google Ads).
    • The name of the remitting bank.
  • For your security, please black out any sensitive information on your bank or credit card statement, particularly your entire bank account number or the middle eight digits of your credit card number.
BPAY

If you plan on transferring funds to several Google Ads accounts, you'll need unique Google Bank Account Details for each one.
Important
  • You must include unique Google Bank Account Details for each Google Ads account for which you'd like to make a money transfer. Otherwise, we cannot process your payment.
  • Make sure the Google Bank Account Details you include are correct. If you include the wrong Google Bank Account Details, your payment may go to someone else's Google Ads account. We won't be able to reverse or transfer the payment to the correct account.
Get a pro forma invoice

You can get a pro forma invoice before initiating a money transfer only if you meet these criteria:

  • You signed up for Google Ads as a legal entity (Individual entrepreneur or Business).
  • Your account uses manual payments by money transfer.
  • Your account has a Russian billing address.

The pro forma invoice will contain details about your intended payment and the service that Google Ads provides.

Here’s how to get a pro forma invoice:

Note: The instructions below are part of the new design for the Google Ads user experience. To use the previous design, click the "Appearance" icon, and select Use previous design. If you're using the previous version of Google Ads, review the Quick reference map or use the Search bar in the top navigation panel of Google Ads to find the page you’re searching for.
  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Summary.
  3. Click Make a payment.
  4. In the "Pro Forma Invoice" section, fill in the amount that you're planning to pay and click Create invoice.
  5. Print this page and take it to your bank. If you can’t print it, write down the Google Bank Account Details and take them to your bank. This number is unique to your Google Ads account and will be needed when you conduct the transfer at your bank. If you plan on transferring funds to several Google Ads accounts, you'll need unique Google Bank Account Details for each one.

Note

Pro forma invoices are not stored in your account and are not proof of payment. Once you complete a payment by money transfer, a receipt will be available on your Transaction history page. To get there, click the settings icon Tools and setting menu icon [Gear], and then under "Billing", click "Summary". Go there now

VAT invoices and Act of Acceptance documents will automatically be sent to legal entities each month.

What to expect

Once we receive your money transfer, your ads will typically start running if they had stopped or if this is your first payment. If you're refreshing your balance, your ads will continue running.

Processing time: 2 - 3 business days, depending on your location. In some cases, it can take up to 10 days. That's because a money transfer depends on a few factors, including local bank processes. Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.

Delays

If you're worried that your money transfer is taking too long, there are a couple things you can do to check that your payment is on its way:

  • Check that your funds have been withdrawn from your bank account. If they haven't, contact your bank.
  • Check with your bank that the funds were transferred to the correct account. The Google Ads bank account number should be the same as the one listed in our payment instructions (generated when you made a money transfer payment in your Google Ads account).

If it's been over 3 business days since you initiated the transfer and you still don't see your payment reflected in your account, you can contact us. You'll need to include a valid proof of payment with this contact form (by clicking the "Choose File" button).

How to include a valid proof of payment

A valid proof of payment follows these guidelines:

  • It can be a scanned copy of your receipt or a screenshot of your bank's online statement.
  • It must be in an uneditable format, such as .jpg, .gif, .pdf, or .png.
  • It must include the following information:
    • The date the transfer was made. If possible, show all transactions for five days before and after the payment.
    • The amount and currency of the payment.
    • The beneficiary of the funds.
    • The name of the bank you used.
  • For your security, please black out any sensitive information on your bank statement, particularly your entire bank account number.

What to expect

Your payment can take up to 24 hours to process after you have received a payment confirmation email. If it's been over 24 hours since you made the payment, and you still do not see your payment reflected in your account, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

Common error message

GCash may occasionally give an error message. Here’s how to resolve the most common issues:

Error message: Insufficient funds

What to do: This message usually means that your GCash does not have enough money to make the payment. In this case, add money to your GCash and try your payment again. This message can also be shown if your payment exceeded certain GCash restrictions. For example, your GCash settings might have a daily limit set on the amount or number of payments. We suggest that you take the following action:

  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Payment methods.
  3. Find "GCash" and click Remove.
  4. Click Summary on the side of the page.

Note: Google does not accept prepaid cards for automatic payments.

In addition to certain types of credit cards, we also accept debit cards with the China UnionPay logo. You can use a credit or debit card if you make manual payments (you put funds into your account before your ads run). Here's how to do it, based on the payment setting of your account:

Make a payment with a one-time use credit card

In addition to regular credit cards, you can also use a one-time use credit card (also known as virtual credit card). It's commonly used as an alternative to physical credit cards when making online payments. Google Ads accepts these credit cards as long as they have a China UnionPay logo. If you don't have a physical credit card, contact your bank to see if they offer them.

Steps to use a one-time use credit card:

Note: The instructions below are part of the new design for the Google Ads user experience. To use the previous design, click the "Appearance" icon, and select Use previous design. If you're using the previous version of Google Ads, review the Quick reference map or use the Search bar in the top navigation panel of Google Ads to find the page you’re searching for.
  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Summary.
  3. Click the Make a payment button.
  4. Click the "Pay with" drop-down and choose Add new payment method, then enter your one-time use credit card information.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to make a payment for, then click the Make a payment button to review and finish your payment. Be sure to include $1 more than your payment amount for card verification.

What to expect

In some cases, Google Ads may test a small charge on your card to make sure it's valid. You won't actually pay that test amount, but the amount of your payment will be reduced by it. For example, if you decide to charge $300 to your card, Google Ads may make a test charge of $1 and your card will be charged $299 to run ads.

Just like physical credit cards, your ads will start serving almost immediately after you've made a payment.

Once your one-time use card's expiration date or credit limit is reached, be sure to generate another one-time use card and enter the information in your account for future payments. Otherwise, your payment could be declined. For all other payment declines, please contact your local banks.

Please keep all records of a payment until you see that it has reached your Google Ads account.
