Local currency for billing and automatic payments

The payment types described in this article apply only to self-serve, online Cloud Billing accounts, and not to accounts paid by invoice. If your Cloud Billing account is set up as an invoicing account and you would like to learn how to pay for your Google Cloud costs, visit Make a payment to an invoiced Cloud Billing account.

Key Point: Each online Cloud Billing account operates in a single currency, which you cannot change after you create your Cloud Billing account. If you need a Cloud Billing account to operate in a currency different than the currency of your existing Cloud Billing account, you will need to set up a new Cloud Billing account.

The following table lists countries and regions where Cloud Billing accounts are charged in local currency, as well as the payment types available in each country or region. Payment types are only applicable to automatically paid online accounts and are described in more detail in Add, remove, or update a payment method.

When Google charges in local currency, we convert Google Cloud prices into applicable local currency pursuant to the conversion rates published by leading financial institutions. Visit our Exchange rates documentation for more information.

If your country or region is not listed here, check the payment options tool for more information.

Note: Some debit cards might not be an acceptable form of payment for Cloud Billing Accounts

Using a debit card to complete online transactions might require two-factor authentication (for example, entry of a one-time password sent by your bank directly to you via SMS). Two-factor authentication requires you to be in-session at the time of the transaction. Cards that require you to be in-session are not usable for subscriptions or similar recurring automatic transactions.

When you set up your Cloud Billing account, you must associate your billing account with a Google payments profile. Your Google payments profile includes the forms of payment you use to pay for your Google Cloud costs.

When you add your debit card as a form of payment on your associated Google payments profile, Google checks whether your issuing bank approves subscriptions or recurring payments using that card. If your bank does not approve, your debit card will not work for automatic recurring payments.

If you receive an error such as Your card does not support automatic recurring payments or General decline of the card. No other information was provided by the issuing bank, please select a different form of payment.
