Facebook and Farewell: How to Eject Your Credit Card (Without Breaking Up)
Let's face it, we've all been there. You see that enticing "Buy Now" button for the latest must-have gadget, and in a moment of weakness, you whip out your credit card details faster than you can say "impulse purchase."

Whatever the reason, you're now on a mission to remove your credit card from Facebook's grasp.
Fear not, fellow friend! This guide will help you navigate the Facebook labyrinth and free your plastic prison (or at least, the information on it) in just a few simple steps.
| How To Remove Credit Card From Facebook |
Step 1: Suit Up for the Adventure (or Open Your Browser)
First things first, you'll need to assemble your team. No, not the Avengers (although they'd probably be pretty good at hacking Facebook). Just grab your trusty computer or phone and log in to your Facebook account.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.![]()
Pro Tip: If you're using the Facebook app, you might need to switch to the mobile browser for this one.
Step 2: The Quest for Settings (Because Adulting)
Now, the fun part begins! Embark on a thrilling quest (okay, maybe not that thrilling) to find the Settings menu.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.![]()
- On a computer: Look for the downward-facing arrow in the top right corner of your screen. Click on it, and then select Settings & Privacy from the dropdown menu.
- On the mobile browser: Tap the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and tap Settings & Privacy.
Congratulations, adventurer! You've made it to the first checkpoint.
Step 3: The Cavern of Payments (Not as Scary as it Sounds)
Within the Settings & Privacy menu, you'll find a treasure trove of options, but the one you seek is Payments. Click or tap on it to enter the Cavern of Payments.

Step 4: Face Your Fears (The Credit Card List, That Is)
Here, you'll be presented with a list of all the payment methods you've ever associated with your Facebook account. Like facing your fears, it might be a daunting sight (especially if you're a frequent online shopper). But take a deep breath and find the credit card you want to banish.
Step 5: The Banishment Ritual (a.k.a. Clicking "Remove")
Hover your mouse (or tap on mobile) over the chosen credit card. This will reveal a little menu with the option to "Remove". Click on it with the confidence of a seasoned warrior.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.![]()
A confirmation message might appear, just to make sure you're not accidentally deleting your emergency pizza fund. Click "Remove" again, and poof! Your credit card is gone from Facebook's clutches.
Congratulations! You've successfully completed your quest and removed your credit card from Facebook. Now you can go forth and shop responsibly (or not, we won't judge).
Remember: This guide is for removing your credit card from all of Facebook, not just for Facebook Ads. If you only want to remove it from Ads, the process is slightly different. But fear not, brave adventurer, there are plenty of other guides out there to help you on that specific quest.
