AWS India customers can now setup automated recurring payments on their cards

AWS India customers can now set up automated recurring payments to pay their monthly AWS invoices, through e-mandates on their debit and credit cards.

As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, e-mandates allow customers to schedule automatic payments using saved cards. The automated recurring payments will streamline the bill payment process for customers. Once customers set up e-mandate, they will be automatically charged for invoices up to INR 15,000. This will avoid the need to make manual payments for monthly invoices, and help prevent missed payments.

To setup e-mandate on cards, customers can log-in to the AWS console, and navigate to the Payments page through the Billing Dashboard. They can then pay for an invoice by choosing a card. Customers will be prompted with a check-box to enable e-mandate for automated charging of invoices up to INR 15,000 while making the payment. Customers will then be routed to their bank website for multi-factor authentication (MFA) to complete the current payment and complete e-mandate setup. Once the payment is successful, the invoice will be marked as paid in the AWS console and automated payments will be setup for all future invoices up to INR 15,000.
