When you add your MB MasterCard, GooglePay may charge a small fee to your account. This payment is to verify that everything is valid. This doesn’t affect your balance whatsoever and will disappear and be re-imbursed in due time.

How your MuchBetter payment method will be verified

Verifying your payment method is an important step. This will help us protect your MB account. The verification code will not come through from Google Pay, it will come from MuchBetter.

Remember to make sure we are kept up to date with your latest contact details including both your email address and phone number so you can obtain your codes.

How you can verify

Verifying by the MuchBetter App

You might need to sign into your MuchBetter app to verify your payment method. If you don’t have the app, you might be asked to install it and then come back to Google Pay.

Temporary deposit

A tiny deposit may be temporarily drawn from your bank account. A notification via text may then be sent out about the deposit transferred. This will eventually be removed from your account as a debit.

Issues receiving money

If you have received an email from Google Pay regarding an issue with your MuchBetter payment method, the pending transfer will not be automatically put into your debit card account.

To fix this, follow the step-by-step instructions that follow below:

Step 1: To fix the problem

To change old default payment method’s: Get your up-to-date payment method, make it the default, and then get your money back.
You have hit the maximum transaction limit:You cannot transfer more than $2,500 per day to it.
You have not yet finished the verifying process:You might have reached the limit for money you can send or receive. To resolve this, Contact Google Pay.
None of the above: Contact Google Pay.

Step 2: Claiming back your funds

Reminder: To claim your money back and not risk the pending transaction to be returned to its sender, it must be claimed back within 14 days.

1. Within your app or on the website, tap the menu icon and choose activity.
2. Choose the action to claim, located next to the transaction.
3. Continue to follow all the directions shown to claim back your funds. If you already fixed your payment method by the default method, any transactions an individual sends you, will inevitably move the money to your now chosen default account.
