How do I transfer my Google Ads balance to another account?

Unfortunately, Google Ads does not allow direct balance transfers between accounts. However, there are workarounds to use your existing balance efficiently and avoid losing funds.

🔴 Can You Transfer Google Ads Balance to Another Account?
No, Google Ads does not provide an official feature to transfer funds between accounts. However, you can still use or reallocate funds effectively using these methods.

✅ Workarounds to Use Your Google Ads Balance Elsewhere
1️⃣ Use the Same Billing Profile for Multiple Google Ads Accounts
If your business has multiple ad accounts, you can link them under the same billing profile.
This method allows you to use one payment method across accounts.
Steps:
Go to Google Ads → Billing
Click Settings → Payment Profile
Add your new Google Ads account under the same billing profile.
Your funds will still be used, but across multiple accounts.
2️⃣ Request a Refund and Reuse the Funds in a New Account
If you haven't used the balance yet, you can request a refund and use the money elsewhere.
How to Request a Refund:
Go to Google Ads → Billing & Payments
Click Manage Payments
Find the "Request a Refund" option.
Refunds typically process within 2-4 weeks.
3️⃣ Pause Current Ads & Run Ads on the New Account
If your goal is to shift ad spending to a new account, you can:
Pause all current campaigns.
Adjust targeting and settings to match what you intended for the other account.
4️⃣ Set Up a Shared Budget Across Linked Google Ads Accounts
If you manage multiple accounts under Google Ads Manager (MCC), you can create shared budgets instead of transferring funds.
Steps:
Open Google Ads Manager Account (MCC).
Go to Tools & Settings → Billing → Budgets.
Create a shared budget to allocate funds dynamically across different accounts.
5️⃣ Contact Google Ads Support for Special Cases
In rare cases, Google Ads support may assist with fund reallocation if there was an error or policy change.
Contact Google Ads Support:
Go to Google Ads Help Center → Contact Support
Explain your situation and request a balance adjustment.
⚠️ Things to Remember:
Google Ads does not support direct fund transfers.
Refunds are only possible for unused funds (not promotional credits).
Using an MCC account can help manage multiple accounts efficiently.
🎯 Final Recommendation
If your balance cannot be transferred, your best options are:

Pause campaigns and use funds on your existing account.
Request a refund (if eligible) and deposit the money into a new account.
Use Google Ads Manager (MCC) to manage multiple accounts more efficiently.
