If your business runs on AWS and you want tax invoices in Thai baht, you used to face a trade-off. Billing through a local partner meant moving your AWS accounts into the partner’s organization — and giving up control of how they were structured and governed.
With AWS Billing Transfer, that trade-off is gone. You keep your own AWS Organization, your security and your governance. Only the bill moves to Aware, so you get local THB tax invoices without handing over the keys.
Below is a quick look at what’s changed, what it means for your team, and one thing to do before you switch. Want the full side-by-side?
What’s changed: from account linking to Billing Transfer
What’s changed: from account linking to Billing Transfer
The new model (AWS Billing Transfer). You keep — or create — your own AWS Organization. Aware sends a one-time billing transfer invitation to your management account. Once you accept, Aware pays the AWS invoices for your whole organization under our billing and tax settings. That’s what makes THB tax invoicing possible, while everything else stays yours.
