Registering an account in Yandex Cloud
To work with most Yandex Cloud services, you need a billing account. The account stores information about the payer and payment details. Yandex Cloud debits your card and invoices you only if you are using the paid version. While some services, e.g., Tracker or DataLens, do not require a billing account, if you create one, you will get an initial grant you can use to pay for your resources.
Within a single user account, all payers must contract with the same legal entity and pay in the same currency.
New customers who are legal entities are eligible for a trial period. The trial period allows you to discover the features of the cloud infrastructure for free with some limitations. To fully use the resources, you need to switch to the paid version after your trial period ends.
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:
- Select the payer type: Individual, and click Next.
- Enter your first and last name.
- (Optional) Enter your middle name and mailing address.
- Click Next.

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.
