How to Remove a Payment Method from Google Play
Updating your Google Play payment method isn't in the app; here's the sneaky, simple way to do it on the web.
Our payment methods change more often than we’d like. Maybe your old card expired, you’re switching to a new bank, or you just want to ditch that prepaid card taking over your Google Play account. But unlike other settings, you can’t update your payment method directly in the Google Play app (quite annoying).
But don’t worry, it’s way easier than it seems. All you need is a quick trip to the Google Play website, and you’re just a few taps away from swapping out payment methods. In this guide, we'll show you how to remove your payment method easily from your Google Play account.
