AWS Expands Payment Flexibility with Naira and Egyptian Pound Support
AWS adds local currency payment options in US and Europe, reducing foreign exchange costs and regulatory hurdles for global customers.

In addition to the currencies already supported, AWS US customers can choose to pay in Chilean Peso (CLP), Colombian Peso (COP), and Uruguayan Peso (UYU). Similarly, AWS Europe customers can pay in Egyptian Pound (EGP), Nigerian Naira (NGN), Polish Zloty (PLN), Romanian Leu (RON), Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH).
Local currencies are important in localizing the payment experience for customers. With payments in their local currencies, customers can avoid foreign exchange costs associated making foreign currency payments. Also, it removes payment friction for customers in countries where local regulations put limits on the foreign currency amount a customer can access.
