To use a bank account as a payment method in your payment profile, you must verify it.
US-based merchants who get their merchant payouts from Google through bank transfers can instantly verify their bank account. Unlike the test deposit verification method, which takes several days, verifying your bank instantly takes just a few seconds.
To verify that your information was entered accurately and make sure that merchant payments will be seamless, Google will make a small deposit into your bank account. It may take up to three working days for your bank to process this deposit.
Contact your bank or find the deposit on your bank statement. The deposit will be labelled 'Google deposit [your chosen credit card statement name]'. This deposit will be less than US$1.00 and converted to local currency.
To verify your bank account, after you get the deposit amount using your bank statement or by calling your bank, follow the steps below:
- Sign in to your Play Console.
- Click Settings
Payments settings.
- Under 'How you get paid', click Choose payment method.
Payments settings.- Find the name of the payment method that you want to verify and click Fix.
- On the next screen, use the drop-down to select the amount that was deposited into your account by Google, then click Verify.
