The payment methods described in this article apply only to self-serve, online Cloud Billing accounts, and not to accounts paid by invoice. If your Cloud Billing account is set up as an invoiced account and you would like to learn how to pay for your Google Cloud costs, visit Make a payment to an invoiced Cloud Billing account. OverviewIn Google Cloud, you can set up a self-serve, online Cloud Billing account and use it to define who pays for a given set of Google Cloud resources. You use Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles to control access to a Cloud Billing account. A Cloud Billing account is connected to a Google payments profile. The Google payments center is a Google-level resource that includes the payment instruments to which costs are charged. These payment instruments pay for the charges you incur when you use Google Cloud resources. Since the Google payments center is a Google-level resource accessed and managed outside of Google Cloud, you manage the access permissions for your Google payments profile separately from the access permissions for a Cloud Billing account. If you have the necessary permissions, you can interact with your Google payments profile from within the Google Cloud console (as described below) or at payments.google.com Payment methods you can add to your payments profileThe payment methods available for your self-serve (online) Cloud Billing account depend on your currency and country. In many countries, you can set up a credit card, debit card, or bank account as a primary payment method. You can also set up a backup credit or debit card to act as a safety net; if your primary payment method fails, we'll charge your costs to your backup payment method. This ensures that your Google APIs and cloud services keep running. Note that you cannot set up a bank account as a backup payment method. For more information about adding a backup payment method, see Add a payment method, below. Bank account payments (also known as direct debit or ACH) allow you to specify a bank account to use as the primary funding source for your account. Your account isn't active until you verify your bank account. Verification of your bank account may take up to 10 days. For information about instant bank verification, see Verify your bank account. Be aware of the following important points:
Supported payment methodsCredit and debit cards
The types of cards Google services lets you add to payment profiles vary by location and by product. Bank accountIf supported in your country, you can add a bank account to pay.google.com to pay your Cloud Billing account. Depending on your country, you might have to accept a direct debit mandate, which gives Google permission to charge your bank account. Unsupported payment methods
Permissions required to manage payment methodsTo manage the payment methods in the Google payments profile that is linked to your Cloud Billing account, you need permissions on both the Cloud Billing account and the Google payments profile.
Add a payment methodYou can add additional payment methods to your Cloud Billing account at any time. To add a payment method, complete the following steps:
If your new payment method is a U.S. bank account, you can instantly verify your bank account rather than use the challenge deposit which takes 2-5 days. For information about challenge deposits and instant bank verification, see Verify your bank account. If your new payment method is a non-US bank account, you might need to accept a direct debit mandate, which authorizes Google to charge your bank account. You can download a copy of your mandate by returning to the Payment method page and clicking Download mandate next to your bank account. If you receive an error message when you attempt to set up or change a payment method, see A billing account change wasn't allowed for more information. Update or remove payment methodsYou might want to update your payment information or to set a credit or debit card as a backup payment method. A backup payment method is a credit card or debit card that you designate to be used if your primary payment method fails. With a backup payment method, if your primary payment method is ever declined when processing a payment, we'll automatically try to charge the payment to your backup method instead. This helps ensure that your service runs uninterrupted. A backup credit card will be charged only if your primary form of payment doesn't work. When updating your payment method, keep in mind:

If your new payment method is a U.S. bank account, you can instantly verify your bank account rather than use the challenge deposit which takes 2-5 days. For information about challenge deposits and instant bank verification, see Verify your bank account. Resolve errors when attempting to add or update a payment methodWhen you are adding a form of payment, you might receive an error such as:
You might encounter these errors if you are using a debit card that requires two-factor authentication to complete an online transaction (for example, entry of a one-time password sent by your bank directly to you via SMS). Two-factor authentication requires you to be in-session at the time of the transaction. Cards that require you to be in-session are not usable for subscriptions or similar recurring automatic transactions. When you enter a debit card as your form of payment, Google checks whether your issuing bank approves subscriptions or recurring payments using that card. If your bank does not approve, this card will not work for automatic recurring payments. If you receive an error such as Your card does not support automatic recurring payments or General decline of the card, please select a different form of payment.
