Open Facebook and Go to Ads Manager
Sign in to your Facebook account and open Ads Manager. You can find this option in the left-hand menu just below the Marketplace button. If you don't see it, click See More to expand the menu, then select Ads Manager.
Go to Billings & Payments
In the left-hand menu, hover your cursor over the notebook icon to expand the available options. Then, select Billing & Payments to manage your Facebook Ad account's payment methods and billing information.
Scroll to Payment Methods
Scroll down to the Payment Methods section to view the payment methods linked to your ads account. You can add multiple debit or credit cards to your account, as well as PayPal, but Facebook will use your default payment method to pay for your ad campaigns.
Planning to change the payment method on your account? You can either remove the existing payment method and add the new one, or simply change the default payment method if you have multiple cards linked to your account.
Click the Three Dots Next to the Payment Method You Want to Remove
If you wish to remove an existing payment method, simply click the three dots next to the payment method you want to delete. Then, select Remove from the menu and follow the on-screen instructions to unlink it from your Facebook Ads account.
Add a New Payment Method
To add a new payment method, click Add Payment Method. Then, choose your preferred payment option and enter the required payment details. Make sure you enter the correct card details to avoid payment issues. Please note that Facebook may also ask for a one-time code to verify your card. Just follow the prompts to add a new payment method successfully.
Change the Default Payment Method
If you have multiple payment methods linked to your Facebook Ads account, you can choose which one Facebook uses by default. Scroll to the Payment Methods section, click the three dots next to the payment method you want to use, and then select Set as Default.
After setting a payment method as default, Facebook will use this card for future advertising charges unless you change it again.
