Dispute, report or cancel a payment

If you think that a purchase was made or money was sent or received fraudulently, you can dispute a transaction. You can cancel some payments that you made using Google Pay.

Step 1: Check if the transaction is complete

  • A transaction can't be disputed until it's complete.
  • The amount shown for transactions that are still processing are temporary and may change.
  • After you cancel an order or payment, it can take some time before your account is credited.

Step 2: Check if the transaction was made by someone who you know

If a family member or friend had access to your Google Account or payment method and made the transaction, go to the appropriate section below.

Dispute a transaction that you don't recognise in the Google Pay app

If you find a transaction in the Google Pay app that you don't recognise:

  1. Compare the Google Pay transaction amount with the records on your financial institution's online banking portal or app.
    • Do not rely on physical bank statements or receipts as these could be outdated.
  2. If the amount on your financial institution's portal isn't accurate or you don't recognise the charge, contact the merchant and try to resolve the issue with them.
  3. If you can't resolve the issue with the merchant, you can file a dispute.
