Why Update Payment Method
Google Play requires an accurate and verified payment method to process app revenues and confirm account authenticity.
Steps to Update Payment Method
Log into Google Play Console.
Go to "Payments & Financial" settings.
Update your payment profile:
Include the organization's legal name and address (matching D-U-N-S documentation).
Add or edit the bank account details.
Complete bank verification:
Google will send a small deposit to your account. Confirm the amount in Play Console.
Alternatively, upload an official bank statement for verification.
Common Pitfalls
Inconsistent name or address information between D-U-N-S and Google profile can cause delays.
Incorrect bank details can lead to verification failure.
How to Update?
