Applies to editions of Google Workspace and other paid subscriptions in your Google Admin console.
To make sure your service runs without interruption, we recommend adding a backup credit card to your Google billing account. If we try to charge your primary payment method and our charge is ever declined, we'll automatically try to charge your backup credit card.
You can't use a bank account as a backup payment method.
