Billing Accounts

You must have a User account before you can create a billing account.

Billing accounts currently do not involve any payments or charges. They simply act as a setup step for future billing features.

Why do I need a billing account?

Billing accounts are a required step before creating a workspace and accessing compute capabilities like Notebooks or Application Services. While billing itself is not yet active, creating an account ensures you're ready once billing features are introduced.

How to create a billing account

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the homepage and Manage Account.
Fill out the form as instructed
Submit the form

Once submitted, your billing account request will be sent for moderator approval. This is expected to take up to 2 working days. After it is approved, you'll be able to create and manage your own workspaces. You will receive a notification via the email associated with your user account when your request has been processed.

If your account hasn't been approved within several days, please contact us at enquiries@eodatahub.org.uk for assistance.
