AWS now accepts payments in 8 new local currencies

In addition to the currencies already supported, AWS US customers can choose to pay in Chilean Peso (CLP), Colombian Peso (COP), and Uruguayan Peso (UYU). Similarly, AWS Europe customers can pay in Egyptian Pound (EGP), Nigerian Naira (NGN), Polish Zloty (PLN), Romanian Leu (RON), Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH).\n Local currencies are important in localizing the payment experience for customers. With payments in their local currencies, customers can avoid foreign exchange costs associated making foreign currency payments. Also, it removes payment friction for customers in countries where local regulations put limits on the foreign currency amount a customer can access. Log in to your AWS account, go to the “Billing and Cost Management“ page, and select “Payment Preferences” under Preferences and Settings“ from the left navigation menu . Click ”Edit“ to change your default payment preferences, and select your preferred currency from the ”Payment currency“ drop down. Once you save your changes, AWS will generate your future invoices in the selected currency. Learn more about managing your AWS payments.
