Why Do I Need to Enter a Payment Method?

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Explains why Vultr requires a payment method for account verification and platform security before allowing resource deployment.


To deploy resources on Vultr, you must add a valid payment method to your account. This helps verify your identity and protects our platform from automated abuse, fraud, and spam.

We accept several payment methods, including major credit and debit cards, digital currencies via BitPay, and third-party platforms such as PayPal and Alipay. Once your payment method is verified, you can provision services and manage your infrastructure on demand.

For the full list of supported payment methods and setup instructions, see our Make Account Payments guide.
