What is direct debit and how does Google process direct debit payments?
Direct debit is a form of postpayment in which you authorize Google, Inc. and/or its affiliates and their representative bank or payment partner to submit appropriate charges to your bank for deduction from your bank account for services rendered via your Google AdWords account. At this time, the direct debit payment option is only available to AdWords advertisers with bank accounts in certain locations. In most European locations, you are required to provide a debit authorization before Google AdWords can begin debiting your bank account for payment. In the United States, you’ll need to validate your bank account prior to making direct debit payments. We will also provide you with a prenotification email prior to each time we intend to charge your bank account.
