Common issues when you add a card
If you have trouble when you add your card, double-check for these common issues:
- Enter the entire card number without any spaces or dashes.
- Enter your name exactly as it appears on the card.
- Verify that your card hasn't expired and enter the correct expiration date.
- Enter the correct Card Verification Code (CVC).
- Confirm that the billing address you entered matches the billing address on your card statement.
Verify your card
If your card is unavailable with a message that says one of the following, your card was reported stolen:
- “Verify on pay.google.com,” or
- “Verify in your Google Account’s payment methods”
You must verify the card before you can use it again:
- Go to payments.google.com and sign in to your account.
- You can also go to the Google Fi website or app Billing tab.
- If you have multiple accounts, sign in to the account with the unavailable card.
- Select Payment methods.
- Next to the card that says “Verification needed,” select Verify Get code.
- Within 7 days, on your card statement, you'll find a temporary hold of $1.95 USD labeled "GOOGLE." Next to the temporary hold, the verification code is the last 6 digits.
- To complete verification, return to your account and enter the 6-digit verification code.
