The benefits of simplified payment options, boosting your confidence, in managing your Cloud system.
Reduced Currency Exchange Risk: With AWS Local Billing, businesses can pay for AWS services in their local currency (e.g., Thai Baht). This eliminates the need to deal with foreign exchange rates and reduces the risk of currency fluctuations affecting the total cost.
Simplified Accounting: Paying in local currency streamlines accounting processes, making it easier for businesses to manage their budgets and financial records.
No Foreign Transaction Fees: By avoiding payments in foreign currencies, businesses can reduce or eliminate additional fees associated with foreign currency transactions, such as bank fees or credit card processing charges.
Clearer Cost Visibility
Localised Invoices: Businesses receive invoices in their local currency, which offers greater clarity on actual spending. This helps finance teams easily reconcile AWS costs with other local expenses and simplifies internal reporting.
Budget Management: By dealing with a single currency, businesses can more effectively monitor and manage their cloud budgets, making financial forecasting more accurate.
Compliance with Local Regulations
Taxation Compliance: AWS Local Billing often includes local tax information, ensuring that businesses comply with domestic tax regulations without additional administrative work.
Customs and Regulatory Needs: In some regions, paying in local currency is required for regulatory compliance. AWS Local Billing helps businesses stay aligned with such requirements.
Easier Financial Planning
Predictable Costs: Since AWS Local Billing eliminates exchange rate variability, businesses can plan their finances more accurately without worrying about unpredictable cost increases due to currency fluctuations.
Cash Flow Management: Paying in local currency allows businesses to align AWS expenses with their local cash flow, reducing financial complexity.
