How Can I Manage My Payment Methods?

1 min readUpdated 26 October 2026

A new Vultr payment method becomes the default, older ones become backups, and the default cannot be deleted.

Vultr allows you to manage multiple saved payment methods from the Vultr Console. When you add a new payment method, it automatically becomes the default and is used for future billing cycles. Any previously added methods are designated as backup.

To remove a saved payment method:

Navigate to your Billing Settings.
Locate the saved payment method.
Click the "…" menu next to the card or payment method.
Select Delete, then confirm the removal in the dialog that appears.

Note

You cannot delete the default payment method. If you want to remove it, first add and switch to another active payment method.

If you prefer to manage payments manually, you can prepay by adding funds in advance or after receiving a funding notice. In manual payment mode, Vultr will not initiate auto-payments.

For more information on billing and payments, visit your Billing History.
