Google Phases Out Card Payments. Now What? 

You may have been notified that Google recently announced they’re phasing out credit card payments for “high-growth” advertisers utilizing Google Ads. As of July 31, 2024, affected advertisers will need to switch to bank-based payment options like monthly invoicing or direct debit.

While Google says this move offers more “flexibility” and “control,” we understand it can throw a wrench in your advertising plans. Especially if you rely on the convenience, float and rewards that come with using your card.
