Enter your new payment details

Never send your full card or bank account details by email or chat. Enter them only in the payment form.

Paying from a bank account

Your bank account needs to be verified when you add it. Verification may happen instantly. If instant verification is not available, you may be asked to confirm small test deposits sent to your bank account. Follow the instructions in your billing settings to complete verification.

Bank account payments take longer to transmit than card payments, so a payment may not appear as completed right away.

Check your bills separately

Updating your payment method does not by itself pay an outstanding bill. After you update, review Upcoming and History on the Billing page; select Details on a bill to see its line items and the payment method used.

Goodcover's billing cycle runs every night and attempts bills that are due or outstanding, so in most cases you do not need to submit a failed payment again. If you received a notice saying a payment will not be retried, or a cancellation notice, follow the instructions in that notice and contact support@goodcover.com if you need help.
