Starting today, AWS customers based in the United Kingdom can use Bacs Direct Debit to pay for their AWS services. This new feature provides a convenient and automated way to manage your cloud spend directly from your GBP-based bank account.
Customers can securely connect any personal or business bank account that supports the Bacs standard. Previously, AWS only accepted credit or debit cards and EUR-based bank accounts in the UK.
During sign-up, customers can choose “Bacs Direct Debit” from the AWS sign-up page, select their bank, and authenticate using their bank’s mobile app or online banking credentials. This securely verifies ownership and links the bank account to the AWS account. By default, this account will be used for future AWS invoices.
Existing customers can add Bacs Direct Debit by navigating to the Payment Preferences page in the AWS Billing console. They choose “Add payment method,” select “Bacs Direct Debit,” and follow the same bank selection and authentication flow. Once verified, the bank account is available as a payment method for future invoices.
Bacs Direct Debit is available to customers in UK regions at not additional cost. To learn more, see Managing your Bacs direct debit payment method.
