About payment methods for Google Ads

 
As of June 28, 2024, Giropay is no longer supported as a form of payment for Google Ads customers on automatic and manual payments in Germany. Refunds after account cancellation for advertisers who used Giropay will not be affected.
PayPal is temporarily unavailable for new accounts using automatic payments. Additionally, you won’t be able to add it to an existing account. You can still sign up using PayPal for manual payments, where available.

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.

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:

  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:

  3. Click the Make a payment button.
  4. Select the existing payment method.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to make a payment for, then click the Review payment button to review and finish your payment.
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:

  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 AMEX, JCB, 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).

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.

To use a credit or debit card on this payment setting, see the steps below:

Make a payment with a new credit card
  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.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to pay, then click the Make a payment button to review and finish your payment.
Make a payment with a credit card that exists in your account
  1. In your Google Ads account, click the Billing icon Billing Icon.
  2. Click Summary.
  3. Click the Make a payment button.
  4. Select the existing payment method.
  5. Enter the amount you'd like to make a payment for, then click the Review payment button to review and finish your payment.
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:

  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. 

Automatic payments

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

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.

Credit cards and debit cards

Your payment setting determines whether you can use both credit cards and debit cards to pay for Google Ads:

  • If you’re on automatic payments (you're automatically charged after your ads run), you can use either credit cards or debit cards.
  • If you’re on manual payments (you put funds into your account before your ads run), you can use debit cards only.

Google Ads accepts the following credit and debit cards:

  • Credit cards: Google Ads accepts Visa and MasterCard credit cards.
  • Debit cards: Google Ads accepts debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo.
Note: You can also add a RuPay credit or debit card as a payment method for your manual payment, after you've completed your Google Ads account signup.

See below for instructions on how to add a credit or debit card to your account (note that you’ll have to register and verify your card), as well as instructions for other tasks.

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.

You can complete this step when you add a credit or debit card to your Google Ads account. We'll help you connect with your bank to authenticate your card, and we'll confirm whether or not it was successful. Click the links below to see steps for the following:

Register and verify your card

  2. Click Payment methods.
  3. Click the Add payment method button.

  9. If you successfully verified your card, you'll see a message letting you know. Close the window to move on to your Google Ads account.
  10. You'll be taken to your Payment methods page, where you'll see your card information.

The verification process typically takes a few minutes, and you only have to do it once when you first add a card to your account. Registered cards can be used for both automatic and manual payments.

  2. Click Summary.

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.

  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.

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 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:

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.

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.

Connection problems and payments

If you don't see your payment credited to your account within two or three hours, it's possible that the online connection between your bank and GlobalCollect was interrupted. This happens sometimes, unfortunately. If it does, click the link below to see more information:

More on interrupted connections

Here's what you can expect, based on the type of connection interruption you encounter:

  • Temporary interruption: GlobalCollect will receive a payment notice from your bank but the connection to Google might be interrupted. You won't receive an error message, but your payment will be applied to your Google Ads account after it's been processed. This can take as long as five days.
  • Permanent interruption: You'll receive an error message about an unsuccessful payment. If you want, you can make a non-real time money transfer to GlobalCollect, which can take five to 10 business days before being credited to your account.

The Google bank account 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.
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).

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

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.

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.
  5. Click Make a payment and try your payment again. You'll be prompted to re-link your account. Take the opportunity to change the payment restrictions for Google Ads in your GCash account.

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:

  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.
