Companies can complete AWS seller information (payment and disbursement) one time for all employees. Employees use an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) account under the AWS account of the company to link to the company's payment information. The company only needs to complete payment setup one time.

Note

Setting up your profile and setting up payments can be completed in any order.
