Managing Payment Methods

Managing payment methods with Google is a breeze, and I'm here to guide you through it. You can update or remove payment methods, including setting a backup payment method to ensure uninterrupted service.

To update or remove a payment method, head to the Google Cloud console and navigate to the Payment method page. If you want to remove a payment method, you'll need to add another one first, and you can't remove your primary payment method.

Here are the types of cards you can add to your Google payments profile, depending on your location and product:

  • American Express
  • MasterCard
  • Visa
  • Discover (US only)
  • JCB (Japan and US only)
  • Visa Electron (Outside the US only)
  • Elo credit cards (Brazil only)
  • Debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo
  • Boleto bancário (Brazil)

If you try to remove a credit card from your Google account, Google will ask you to add a different card first to ensure your active subscriptions can continue. This is a safety feature to prevent interruptions to your services.
