Cloud members can create one or more billing accounts.
To create a billing account:
-
Go to Yandex Cloud Billing.
-
Log in to your Yandex ID or Yandex 360 account. If you do not have an account yet, sign up and create an organization to work in Yandex Cloud Organization. If using your social network profile to log in to Yandex, create a username and password.
-
On the Billing accounts page, click Create billing account. Fill in your information:
-
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.
-
In the Organization field, select the organization to create a billing account for.
-
Select the country that the payer is a resident of.
Within a single user account, all payers must pay in the same currency.
-
-
If you see a list of available payers in the Payer section, you can select one of them or add a new one. To add a payer:

- Residents of Russia make payments in RUB and can only use bank cards issued by Russian banks.
- Residents of Kazakhstan make payments in KZT and can only use bank cards issued by non-Russian banks.
To make sure your bank card is valid, we will hold a small amount (RUB 11) on your account. This amount will not be charged and will become available once the verification is complete. The amount of time required to release the funds held depends on your bank.
Your account will be created as a paid one: after you have used up your initial grant, your card will be debited for the Yandex Cloud resources you are using.
Warning
You may skip the bank card linking step in the billing account creation form if it is optional. However, keep in mind that in this case you will not be eligible for the initial grant, even if you link a card later. You will be able to work with paid resources in the cloud only after you top up your personal account.

On the Account info tab of the billing account, the Linked clouds and services section shows all connected clouds and services, e.g., DataSphere, and more. If your account is added to an organization, you will see the organization ID under Linked clouds and services as well.
On the service home page, you can find billing accounts of all your organizations, as well as the accounts you have access to.
What's next?
After creating a billing account you can start using Yandex Cloud services. You can link one or more clouds to your billing account. Both new and existing clouds can be linked. You cannot unlink a cloud from a billing account. Instead, you can relink it to a different billing account.
