Have you ever linked your debit card to Facebook Ads and then decided you didn’t want it connected to your profile anymore? If that’s the case, you’re in good company. A lot of individuals end up wanting to detach their debit card from Facebook Ads for different reasons. It could be due to worries about security, a desire for more privacy, or just to prevent unintended advertising expenses. Taking your debit card off Facebook Ads is a pretty simple task. In this article, I’ll walk you through each step necessary to remove your debit card from Facebook Ads.
Step 1: Accessing Facebook Ads Manager
To get started, log in to your Facebook account and navigate to the Ads Manager. You can access Ads Manager by clicking on the drop-down arrow in the top right corner of Facebook and selecting “Manage Ads” from the menu.
Step 2: Navigating to the Payment Settings
Once you’re in Ads Manager, click on the hamburger menu icon in the top left corner of the screen. From the menu that appears, select “Billing & Payment” to access your payment settings.
Step 3: Managing Payment Methods
In the Payment Settings section, you’ll find the “Payment Methods” tab. Click on it to view and manage the payment methods associated with your Facebook Ads account.
Step 4: Removing Your Debit Card
Under the Payment Methods tab, you’ll see a list of all the payment methods linked to your account. Locate the debit card you want to remove and click on the “Remove” button next to it.
Facebook will prompt you to confirm the removal of your debit card. Before proceeding, double-check that you have selected the correct card for removal. Once you’re sure, click on the “Remove” button to finalize the process.
It’s important to note that removing your debit card from Facebook Ads does not cancel any active ad campaigns or outstanding payment obligations you may have. Make sure to settle any outstanding payments before removing your card to avoid any disruption in your advertising activities.
Step 5: Alternative Payment Methods
If you still wish to advertise on Facebook but no longer want to use a debit card, consider adding an alternative payment method. Facebook offers various payment options, including credit cards, PayPal, and manual payments. You can add or update your payment methods under the Payment Settings section.
Additionally, if you plan on reusing your debit card for Facebook Ads in the future, you can always add it back to your account following a similar process.

By accessing the Ads Manager, navigating to the Payment Settings, locating your debit card, and confirming its removal, you can effectively unlink your debit card from your Facebook Ads account.
