Google uses industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) technology to protect every interaction you have with the AdWords system. This protects your personal and payment information. We not only store all your information behind a firewall, but also encrypt your sensitive payment information. neither Google nor our payment partners ever share or sell your personal information.

Credit Card, Debit Cards and Bank Account Details Our third-party payment processor checks your billing information against the payment account information. If these don't match, we won't accept the form of payment. Any irregularities will be reviewed by an AdWords Specialist. Funds Transfers For some locations and currencies, Google uses a third-party provider so that advertisers can transfer funds securely to their AdWords accounts. In this case, you'll send your payment to a bank account that belongs to this service provider in your country or territory, and our provider's name will appear in the account name to which we ask you to transfer your payments. The provider securely processes your payment and sends the funds to Google.
