But to recharge or perform any transaction, you must have your bank account linked with your Google Pay account. Then only, you can perform the specific transaction. So if you haven’t already configured your bank account with your Google Pay account and looking for any guidance to do so, you are at the right place.
Google Pay – Adding & Removing Bank information
In this article, we will discuss how you can set up your Bank account and also delete your bank account from the Google Pay Android app.
Setting up a Bank Account with Google Pay
First of all, you should open your Google Pay Android app on your device. At the time of first starts, it will automatically detect and configure your bank with Google Pay. But if you want to configure more bank accounts you own, you can use these steps.

Now find out the “Bank Account” option and tap on it. You will be able to find it just below your mobile number. You will be able to see the “+ADD BANK ACCOUNT” option from there.
When you select add bank account option, you will see a list of Banks on your next screen.
You will have to select the bank from the list, where your account there, and make sure you have registered your mobile number with that bank. Also, your SIM card with that registered number is inserted into your mobile. As it will verify your SIM card and send a message to your bank from your SIM to verify your account ownership.
So if you have inserted your SIM card into another mobile and set up UPI on your other mobile, it will not get verified successfully.
We assume that you have your registered number SIM card inserted on your device and setting up Google Pay with it. So it will send an SMS from your device to the Bank for final verification and once verified, it will ask you to enter your UPI PIN on the next screen.
Once you add your UPI PIN, it will connect your bank account with your Google Pay account, and on the next screen, you will see the account added option.
Now, if you have set up and connected your multiple bank accounts and want to remove some of them, you can use the below method to delete your bank information and UPI account associated with your Google Pay account.
