Google Ads is changing where advertisers manage payment method verification by moving it to the Account section, previously called Advertiser Verification.
This section was renamed in January 2026 and now serves as a central hub for policy-related tasks such as verification and compliance status.
Previously, confirming a payment method was handled separately from other verification tasks. With this update, the ‘Confirm your payment method’ step now appears under Admin > Policy > Account, bringing all verification requirements together in one location.
The rollout is happening in phases, so account managers should check the Account verification section regularly to prevent disruptions.
