Why you get Google Pay balance emails
If you have a Google Pay balance, you’ll get occasional Google Pay balance activity notification emails. We send these emails to make sure you check and recognize the transactions you’ve made with your Google Pay balance. Most Google Pay balances are automatically created when money is sent or received with Google Pay.
How often you receive emails depends on how often you use Google Pay. If you never use Google Pay, you’ll probably get these emails once every month or every three months.
Why you might get emails if you don’t have a balance
If you have a debit card or bank account information saved to your Google Account, you become eligible to use the feature of sending money to friends or family. We’re required to send an annual notice to all eligible users to help ensure that you understand our customer service and error resolution policy.
Why you can’t unsubscribe
You can't unsubscribe because we send these to you for certain legal reasons.
