# Do I Need an Upfront Deposit?

> EDBB lets you order VPS services without preloading account credit; pay per invoice via card or supported cryptocurrencies.

## No Deposit Needed

<Info>
  You can order any EDBB VPS without keeping a prepaid balance. Place the order, pay the invoice, and you’re live—no security deposit or minimum credit required.

## How Billing Works

* Each service generates a monthly invoice in EUR.
* Pay with cards, crypto, or supported wallets on or before the due date.
* As long as invoices are paid in time, services remain active.

## When Credit Comes in Handy

* Pre-load funds if you manage multiple renewals and prefer one payment.
* Maintain a balance before vacations or maintenance windows so renewals can post without manual action.
* Combine with automated emails to keep accounting tidy.
