AWS requires a U.S. bank account to enable access to the AWS EC2 Standard RI marketplace or to participate as a (re)seller or channel partner in the AWS Software & Services Marketplace.

Use the [Wise application](https://wise.com/help/articles/2968914/how-do-i-receive-money-from-amazon-with-wise) to establish a U.S. bank account and link it with your AWS account.
