I set up a new google ads account and it is suspended for suspicious payment. I tried switching out billing method and contacted google twice, but they still said they will suspend the account. They didn’t give me a reason what i was doing wrong. Does anyone know how to solve this?

It has to do with the card on file. If you have a different name or zip code attached to the card on file it will get flagged. it looks suspicious.

@jarmon so the card name and the address on my contact page needs to be the same?

Same thing happened to me and I never even got to run an ad all I did was fill out the application put down my debit card and two of my credit cards and they said I had suspicious payment activity also told me not to try to start another account or they would ban me from Google and all my information was completely legal and all my own I don't understand how they won't even explain anything or give you a chance to fix it if maybe you made an honest mistake
