2. Both the Add and Edit credit card forms support auto-completion for the Street, City, State, and Country based on address selection.

> Street, City, State, and Country fields are not displayed if you fill in the address manually.
3. Be sure to check the box to update your billing invoice address, if appropriate.
4. Click **Save Card**. You will receive a message indicating whether or not your card entry was successful.

When you have successfully added a payment method, it is reflected in the Payment Method area.

> When adding a credit card for billing, if you attempt to enter an invalid number 5 times, the card registration feature is locked. A message will indicate that you have exceeded the number of allowed card registration attempts. Contact Wasabi Customer Support for assistance.

## Making a Card the Default Payment Method

If you have multiple credit cards, you can specify the card that will be used by default to pay outstanding invoices.

1. Click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1715109563678.png) to the right of the appropriate credit card.
2. Click **Make Card Default**.

## Temporary Authorization

When a new credit card is added to a Wasabi account, a small temporary authorization hold ($1.00) is sent to verify that the card is valid and has not been reported lost or stolen. Wasabi does not proceed with the charge, and the charge should disappear within three to five business days. The actual charge (based on usage) for your Wasabi services will be applied at the end of your billing cycle (30 days, by default) after you submit the card.

This authorization hold process is comparable to the approach used by other leading service providers.

## Editing a Credit Card

You can change the information for a credit card.

1. Click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1715109563678.png) to the right of the credit card.
2. Click **Edit Card**.
3. The Edit Credit Card panel is displayed, where you can make changes.
4. Click **Save Card**.

## Deleting a Credit Card

You can remove a credit card from the list if the card is not the default for payments.

If the card is the default, change the default to another card and then follow the procedure below. If the card is the only credit card listed, add a new card, make it the default, and then follow the procedure below.

1. Click ![](https://cdn.document360.io/bef0a1ea-7768-4d5a-b520-c4fe2f7fafad/Images/Documentation/image-1715109563678.png) to the right of the credit card.
2. Click **Delete Card**.

The card is automatically removed from the list.
