How to remove bank card after account migration?

0

Hey all, I have moved an AWS account from one organisation to another. During the moving I needed to add a bank card as payment method for the brief period it was standalone. Now it is part of the other organization the management account has the bank details and deals with payment. However, I cant remove the bank card from the account I migrated. Says I need one payment method. Why does the account not pick up that it is connected to organisation and this is dealing with payment?

I understand your frustration with trying to remove the bank card after migrating your AWS account to a new organization. Unfortunately, even when an account is part of an organization where the management account handles payments, AWS still requires each individual account to maintain at least one valid payment method on file.

This requirement exists as a safeguard to ensure continuity of service and billing in case the account is ever removed from the organization or if there are any issues with the organization's payment method. It's a standard practice across AWS accounts, regardless of their organizational status.

While you can't completely remove the last payment method, you do have a couple of options:

  1. You can keep the current bank card on file. As long as your account is part of the organization and in good standing, this card should not be charged.

  2. You could potentially replace the bank card with a different payment method if you prefer not to keep that specific card associated with the account.

If you're concerned about potential charges to the card, rest assured that as long as your account is properly linked to the organization and the organization's payment method is valid, your individual card should not be charged.

If you continue to have concerns or if you believe there's an error in how your account is recognizing its organizational status, it would be best to contact AWS Support directly. They can review your specific account setup and provide tailored guidance or assistance if needed.
