If you've gotten a Google temporary hold on your bank account, you may be wondering what it is—or maybe even wondering why Google is taking money from your account unprompted. While this can look worrying, a Google temporary hold isn't taking money from your account. These small charges are used to ensure your payment method is valid, and Google doesn't actually take any money out of your account with them.
Understanding Google Temporary Holds
- Google temporary holds are used to verify your payment method is valid and that your bank is holding the money.
- You may see a temporary hold if you've just added a new card to Google Pay.
- When you make a Google purchase or use Chrome auto-fill, you may see a temporary hold.
