Registering an account in Yandex Cloud

To create a billing account:

1. Log in to your Yandex ID or Yandex 360 account. If you do not have an account yet, register. When done, navigate to Yandex Identity Hub and create an organization to work in. If using your social network profile to log in to Yandex, create a username and password.

   When creating an organization, specify its name, e.g., Example organization. The organization will automatically get a new folder named default.

2. Go to Yandex Cloud Billing.

3. To create your first billing account, open the Account tab and click Create an account.

   To create another billing account in addition to those you already have, click at the top of the screen next to the name of your existing billing account.

   In the window that opens:

   1. In the Account type field, select Business or individual entrepreneur.

   2. In the Country field, select the country the payer is a resident of.

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

   3. Contact details associated with your Yandex ID will be automatically added to your account. If this does not happen, provide your current email address and phone number. These contact details are not just for communication with you but also for payment invoices and reporting documents.

   4. Specify the Taxpayer ID (INN) to automatically load data from the EGRUL/EGRIP unified registry.

      Details about the organization or individual entrepreneur will appear in a pop-up window displaying the company card. Click the card to load this information into the billing account creation form.

      To ensure the entered data is up to date, click on the company card. Correct the data if necessary.

   5. Select Payment method: wire transfer or linked credit or debit card.

      The payment method you select will affect the size of the initial grant and its terms of use.

      • Select Bank transfer. After you create an account, you will get an email with verification instructions. Until you pass the verification, paid resources will be unavailable.

      • Link a corporate bank card you are authorized to use. If the user account already has bank cards linked to it, you can select one of them without adding a new one.

        We accept Mir, Visa, and MasterCard.

        • Residents of Russia make payments in RUB and can only use bank cards issued by Russian banks. Customers with tax residency in the Republic of Belarus pay for Yandex Cloud services in RUB with their Belcard cards issued in the Republic of Belarus or Mir cards issued in the Russian Federation.
        • Residents of Kazakhstan make payments in KZT and can only use bank cards issued by non-Russian banks.
        • Non-residents of Russia and Kazakhstan make payments in USD and can only use credit or debit cards issued by non-Russian banks.

        To make sure your bank card is valid, we will hold a small amount 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.

   6. Click Create.

If you select the Bank transfer payment method or if the payer is a non-resident of Russia and Kazakhstan, further instructions will be emailed to you at the address specified in your Yandex or Yandex 360 account. You may also get this email if you select Bank card for payment method in cases where your new billing account requires verification. Once your documents have been verified, you can activate your billing account and start using Yandex Cloud.
