The new feature is part of a bigger change that Google is making to how payments work. Advertisers who are affected had to switch to bank-based choices by July 31, 2024, or risk having their accounts closed. Credit and debit cards will no longer be accepted for some Google accounts, which is likely what caused this change.
Google will keep sending warnings until 2024, stressing how important it is to act quickly.
Some important things about the new feature are:
- A clear view of the deadlines in the account page
- A streamlined transfer process that starts with emails
- A targeted rollout for marketers who will be affected
Google talks about the benefits, like having more freedom and control. But some people in the business are worried that advertisers might have trouble with their cash flow.
This one-click function seems to be Google’s attempt to make the switch easier for accounts that will be affected. Advertisers should keep an eye out for alerts and move quickly to make sure their campaigns don’t get interrupted.
