How to pay for Google Ads with crypto

Fund a virtual Visa card with crypto (USDC on Base) and use it to pay for Google Ads, no bank card required.

Google Ads bills to a payment card. If you hold crypto rather than a traditional card you want to use, you can generate a virtual Visa card with Skope, fund it with USDC on Base, and add it as your Google Ads payment method.

Steps

  1. Connect a wallet on Base (or bridge/swap in funds during the funding step).
  2. Choose how much you want on the card in USD.
  3. Pay with USDC, or borrow USDC against crypto you'd rather keep.
  4. Generate the virtual Visa card and use its number to pay for Google Ads.

Things to know

  • The card is a Non-Reloadable U.S. prepaid Visa, so set a balance that covers your expected ad spend.
  • Some ad platforms occasionally decline prepaid cards or require a verification charge, so fund a little extra to cover holds.
  • Card spending is in USD; keep your balance topped up for always-on campaigns by generating additional cards.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay Google Ads with USDC?
Not directly: Google Ads takes a card, not on-chain USDC. Skope converts your USDC into a virtual Visa card balance you can add to Google Ads.
Is there a fee?
Skope charges a small platform fee shown before you confirm. Network/swap costs may apply when funding. There are no hidden charges.
