With AWS now supporting Naira, you can skip juggling foreign exchange and just focus on building. Here’s how to set it up:
1. Log In to Your AWS Account
Head to the AWS Console and sign in as usual.
2. Go to Billing and Cost Management
You’ll find this under the main menu.
3. Preferences and Settings
Once there, look for an option labeled Payment Preferences.
4. Edit Payment Currency
Click Edit, then pick Nigerian Naira (NGN) from the dropdown.
5. Save Changes
Congrats, future invoices will be issued in Naira!
Why This Matters
• No More FX Fees – You’re not burning extra cash on currency conversions.
• Local Payment Ease – It’s simpler to manage local transactions and budgets.
• Aligns with the Lagos Local Zone – Perfect if you’re leveraging AWS’s local zone in Nigeria.
That’s it! It’s quick, it’s easy, and it saves you from fiddling with exchange rates. Now you can invest the difference in testing, automations, or that next big idea.
Peace to all, and happy building!
