AWS now supports Bacs Direct Debit as a payment method for UK customers

New Payment Method: Bacs Direct Debit for UK Customers

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.

What to do

• During sign-up, choose "Bacs Direct Debit" from the AWS sign-up page, select your bank, and authenticate using your bank's mobile app or online banking credentials.
• Existing customers can add Bacs Direct Debit by navigating to the Payment Preferences page in the AWS Billing console, choosing "Add payment method," selecting "Bacs Direct Debit," and following the same bank selection and authentication flow.

Bacs Direct Debit is available to customers in UK regions at no additional cost. To learn more, see Managing your Bacs direct debit payment method.
