    Question

    Where can I find the 6-digit verification code for my Google Fi payment method?

    Answer

    The 6-digit verification code is not sent via SMS or email; instead, it appears on your credit or debit card statement. Here is how to find and use it:

    • Check your statement: Within 7 days of requesting the code, look for a temporary hold of $1.95 USD labeled "GOOGLE" on your card's transaction history or statement.
    • Identify the code: The verification code consists of the last 6 digits located next to that temporary "GOOGLE" hold.
    • Complete verification: Once you have the code, return to your account at pay.google.com or the Google Fi app, go to the Billing tab, select Payment methods, and enter the code next to the card that requires verification.
