Within a single user account, all payers must pay in the same currency.

Link your credit or debit card. If the user account already has credit/debit cards linked to it, you can select one of them without adding a new one.
After successfully adding your card, you will receive an initial grant provided you are a first-time user of Yandex Cloud. The grant is valid for 60 days, but it does not cover GPU clusters, paid support plans, or Marketplace products.
Warning
The initial grant will be credited only if you link a credit/debit card to the billing account when creating it.
You will be able to use paid resources in the cloud only after you top up your personal account.

Once your documents have been verified, you can activate your billing account and start using Yandex Cloud.
Email the following documents to cloud_docs@support.yandex.ru:

Note
Businesses also have access to a subaccount registered through the Partner portal as their customer's account. Payment invoices for use of services by subaccounts are always issued to partners.
On the Account tab of the Yandex Cloud Billing interface, the Linked clouds and services section shows all connected clouds and services, e.g., DataSphere. 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.
