Create a new billing account

Cloud members can create one or more billing accounts. To do this:

1. In the management console, go to Billing.

2. On the Account list page, click Create an account.

3. Select the country that the payer is a resident of.

   Under one Yandex account, all payers must be either residents of the Russian Federation or non-residents.

4. If your Yandex account is linked to your Yandex.Balance profile, a list of available payers is shown under Payers. Select the appropriate one.

   Otherwise, skip this step.

5. Enter the name of the billing account. The name is displayed in the list of your billing accounts and helps you select the one you need.

6. Select the payer type: Individual or Business or entrepreneur.

   If the payer is a non-resident of Russia, only one payer type is available: Business (non-resident of Russia).

7. Fill in the form:

   • Enter the bank card details: the 16-digit number, expiration date, and CVV (on the back of the card).
   • Click Link.

   We accept Visa, MasterCard, and MIR bank cards.

   Note

   Funds from the linked card can only be debited after activating the paid version and using Yandex.Cloud services.

   To make sure your bank card is valid, a small amount will be held in your account. This amount will not be debited and will become available once verification is complete and the funds are released. The amount of time before held funds are released depends on how and when your bank handles transactions.
