    If you want to remove your current primary payment method but also want to keep advertising on Facebook, add another payment method first.
    If you don't want any payment methods connected to your ad account anymore, first turn off your ads, wait about 30 minutes, settle any charges on your account by making a manual payment and then move on to removing your payment method.
Steps to remove a payment method
    Go to your Payment Settings.
    In the  Payment Method section, find the payment method you want to remove and then click  Remove on the right.
    Note: If you don't see your payment method, click  Show Other Payment Methods.
    In the confirmation screen, click  Remove.

Your payment method will be removed from your ad account. Keep in mind that if you've added a payment method to your Facebook account before (like to purchase games or apps), you'll see it listed as one of your payment methods. You can remove it if you no longer want it available in your account.
