Problems adding a new payment card in Google Ads?

Magnus Bråth

A large number of advertisers are experiencing issues adding new cards in Google Ads, which can cause their advertising to come to a halt. Google has announced that it’s a complex problem, they are working on a solution but don’t see a quick fix.

Not being able to add a new payment card to your Google account naturally stops all advertising for those who need to switch cards or set up a new account. For many, this is a disaster in several ways, and Google doesn’t seem to be finding a solution — the problem has been ongoing for several weeks.

We can solve the problem

One way to avoid this issue, now and in the future, is to go through a Google Partner who can be billed by invoice. Of course, there are many reasons to get help from someone skilled in advertising, but in this specific case, the big advantage is receiving invoices instead of making card payments.

It can be difficult to get Google to invoice you if you’re a regular advertiser, but for example, at Brath — as a Google Premier Partner — it works just fine. If you’re having trouble paying Google, get in touch with us at info@brath.se or 020-10 00 08 and we can help you resolve the issue.
