 What is Google Temporary Hold

A Google temporary hold is a pending charge that Google places on your bank account when you add a new payment method, make a purchase, or use autofill on Chrome. The hold is usually lifted within a few days, but it may take longer in some cases.

Google uses temporary holds to verify that your bank account is valid and to prevent fraud. For example, if you add a new credit card to your Google account, Google may place a small hold on your account to check that the card is active and has available funds.

If you see a Google temporary hold on your bank statement, don't be alarmed. It is not a real charge, and it will be removed from your account within a few days. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact Google customer support.

Here are some tips for avoiding temporary holds on your Google account:

• Use a payment method that is already associated with your Google account.
• Make sure that your payment method has available funds.
• Avoid using autofill on Chrome for purchases.
• If you are making a large purchase, contact Google customer support in advance to get pre-authorization.

If you see a Google temporary hold on your bank statement and it does not disappear after a few days, you can contact Google customer support for assistance.
