$wpide_role_gateways = array( // Gateway ID => roles that may use it.
'cheque' => array( 'wholesale_customer' ),
'cod' => array( 'wholesale_customer', 'customer' ),
);
add_filter( 'woocommerce_available_payment_gateways', function ( $gateways ) use ( $wpide_role_gateways ) {
if ( is_admin() && ! wp_doing_ajax() ) {
return $gateways;
}
$roles = is_user_logged_in() ? (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles : array();
foreach ( $wpide_role_gateways as $id => $allowed ) {
if ( isset( $gateways[ $id ] ) && ! array_intersect( $allowed, $roles ) ) {
unset( $gateways[ $id ] );

Use gateway IDs from WooCommerce > Settings > Payments (bacs, cheque, cod); guests never see these methods.
