AWS expanded payment methods in the UK by enabling customers to pay via Bacs Direct Debit, a bank-to-bank transfer system widely used in Britain. This allows both individual and business customers to link GBP accounts securely and automatically handle AWS invoices without relying on credit or debit cards.
The feature supports verification through customers’ banking apps and is integrated into the AWS sign-up workflow and billing console. This payment option aims to simplify financial management for AWS UK customers, though it currently applies only to UK regions and carries no extra charges.
