Enhancing Your Personal Account

You can enhance your Amazon Payments Personal Account features at any time. An enhanced Amazon Payments account gives you the flexibility to add funds and hold a balance in your Amazon Payments account.

In order to start using enhanced account features, you must follow these steps:

  1. Click the Create Account tab on the Amazon Payments website and register with your existing Amazon username and password
  2. Set up your security questions and answers
    Note: After you set up your security questions and answers, you cannot change them.
  3. Provide your personal information, including your home address and personal identification information.
