Here’s a tricky part when you want to remove a card from your Google account. Learn how to successfully remove your debit or credit card from your Google account.
Your Google account is including Google Play Store, YouTube, Google Pay, AdWords, other Google products, and non-Google apps.
Basically, you’ll be prompted to “Choose a new payment method before removing XXX” every time you want to delete or remove the current card. It turns out, Google is assuming you are just replacing a card.
This situation happens because you only have one card registered in Google account. This means, you must attach at least one card to it.
So, if you only have one card registered with Google account, the only option left is to permanently close or end your Google Payments profile for good.
In order to do so, you need to follow the step-by-step instruction below.
