New Amazon Payment Service Provider Policy

No action necessary for payments to your own bank account

You do not need to undertake any action if you have connected your own bank account to your Amazon account. This remains a payment option in future. 

Please be aware that payment to your bank account is not always the most favorable option due to currency conversion rates. It is always advisable to compare the advantages of a PSP with direct payment to your bank account and then decide what best fits your situation.

Certified partners

Next to direct payments to your bank account, Amazon only allows payments via certified PSPs as stated in their new policy, effective as from May 31, 2021. 

Are you now working with a PSP not listed here, it is advisable to take action and select a certified PSP before May 31, 2021.

Are you using a non-certified PSP after May 31, 2021?

• Amazon will delay payments with a maximum of 21 days
• Amazon will stop payments via non-certified PSPs as per July 15, 2021.
