How to Pay Your AWS Bill with Crypto (Amazon Web Services)

Your monthly AWS bill consumes a large portion of your budget, and you have cryptocurrency assets you’d rather use to pay it instead of holding them. The only obstacle? AWS billing insists on a credit card and doesn’t accept crypto.

This guide provides the solution. We will explain step-by-step how the ‘KazaWallet’ virtual card acts as a bridge, allowing you to convert your digital assets into ready cash to pay AWS bills using crypto.

Why is the Kazawallet card the best solution for AWS bills?

Because you need a payment card that accepts crypto top-ups. The Kazawallet virtual card is designed for this:

1. Exchange crypto into a tech balance: You can deposit crypto (USDT, BTC…) into Kazawallet, exchange it to a (USD/USDT/USDC) balance, and use it directly to pay AWS bills.
2. Full Control: The most important feature for developers is expense control. You can top it up with the amount you want (minimum $10), freeze the card after topping up, and unfreeze it when needed.
3. One card for all your tools: As a developer, you often pay for (Cloudflare, DeepSeek API, GoDaddy). You can dedicate one Kazawallet card to all these bills.
4. Ensure Service Continuity: A failed AWS bill payment means shutting down your EC2 servers and RDS databases. The Kazawallet card is a reliable Visa card that ensures the consolidated bill is paid automatically, avoiding any account suspension.
5. Added Protection: The card is protected by (3D Secure), which means when you pay, you’ll receive an (OTP) code to your registered email to confirm the transaction and prevent fraud.
6. Clear Fees and Limits: A 1.5% top-up fee and a $200,000 daily limit cover all needs.

What do you need to pay an AWS bill with crypto?

• A verified Kazawallet account: To use deposit and card services, your account must be fully verified (KYC).
• Crypto balance: Whether this balance is already in your Kazawallet (like BTC, ETH, SOL…), or you have crypto in an external wallet that you will deposit now for free.
• Kazawallet card: The card must be issued and ready to use. (If you don’t have one, follow the guide on how to issue a Kazawallet card.)
• An AWS account.

How to pay Amazon Web Services bill with crypto?

To subscribe to AWS and pay with crypto, you will fund your Kazawallet card with crypto, and then use it directly in the payment process.

Stage 1: Prepare Your Kazawallet Card

At this stage, you will exchange the crypto you own and want to spend into a (USD/USDT/USDC) balance ready for top-up.

1. Deposit: Deposit the crypto you own (USDC, LTC, BNB, TRON, BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, Toncoin) into your Kazawallet account. (Read How to Deposit Crypto into Kazawallet)
2. Exchange: Go to the “exchange” section and exchange this crypto into a (USDT, USDC, or USD) balance.
3. Top-up the Card: Top up your Kazawallet card with the balance you got from the previous conversion.

This way, your card is loaded with a balance that comes from your crypto, ready to pay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1- Does Amazon Web Services (AWS) accept Bitcoin or USDT payments directly?

No, AWS does not accept crypto directly. It requires a credit card or bank transfer. The Kazawallet card is the solution, providing you with a Visa card you can top up using crypto.

2- How do I ensure large amounts are not withdrawn from my account?

The payment system in AWS is pay-as-you-go, which means bills can be unexpected. AWS does not offer an option to set a spending limit, but you can set a budget by topping up your Kazawallet card with only the amount you intend to spend each month before the bill is due.

3- Does this method guarantee that my services (EC2, S3) won’t be shut down?

Yes. As long as you maintain a sufficient balance on your Kazawallet card before the monthly billing date, the card is a reliable Visa card, and the payment will process successfully, ensuring the continuity of your infrastructure.

4- Can I use the card to pay DigitalOcean or Cloudflare bills too?

Yes, it is a global Visa card. You can use it as a central payment card for all your (Cloud Infrastructure) bills.

5- What cryptocurrencies are supported for depositing into a Kazawallet account and topping up the payment card?

Kazawallet supports many major currencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, SOL, BNB, LTC, and others. You can deposit any of these and exchange it to a (USD/USDT/USDC) balance and then top up the card.

6- Can I use the Kazawallet card to pay in a different currency (like the Euro)?

Yes, the card is a global Visa card. You top it up with dollars (USDT or USDC or USD) and can pay with it in any currency. However, be aware that in this case, a foreign exchange (FX Fee) of 2.5% will be applied if the payment is in a currency other than US dollars.

In Conclusion

Just like that, your monthly AWS bill is now paid regularly from your crypto balance. The payment problem is solved, and your infrastructure’s continuity is secured.
