Why did Google Ads suspend my account for suspicious payments?

When Google Ads suspends an account for "suspicious payments," it typically means that the system detected some irregularities or potential fraud in the payment method linked to your account. There are a few common reasons why this might happen:

Unusual Payment Patterns: If the system notices rapid or large payment changes, it may flag your account for investigation. This includes a sudden spike in charges or using a new payment method that has never been used before.

Payment Method Issues: The payment method (e.g., credit card, bank account) used in your Google Ads account might have been flagged as suspicious or linked to other accounts with similar issues.

Chargebacks or Disputes: If you've had chargebacks or disputes on your payment methods in the past, Google Ads may suspend your account as a precautionary measure.

Using Unsupported Payment Methods: Google Ads has certain payment methods that are supported in specific regions. If an unsupported method is used, or if the payment method appears to be from a region that's not aligned with your account settings, it could trigger a suspension.

Inconsistent Account Information: If the information associated with your Google Ads account (such as the name, address, or phone number) doesn't match the information on your payment method, this can raise red flags.

To resolve the issue, you'll need to contact Google Ads support to clarify the situation. They can give you specific details about why your account was suspended and guide you through the steps to restore it. Make sure that the payment method you use is legitimate, accurate, and supported by Google Ads in your region.
