# Payment Methods

Source: https://staging-docs.aiand.com/billing/payment-methods/

ai& uses Stripe for all card processing. Payment methods are attached to your organization's billing account and reused across top-ups.

## Adding a card

A payment method is saved automatically the first time you complete a Checkout. To add additional cards or change the default:

1. Go to [console.aiand.com/settings/billing](https://console.aiand.com/settings/billing).
2. Click **Payment Methods**.
3. Add a new card via Stripe's hosted form, or set an existing card as the default.

## Default payment method

The default is used for any future automated charges (e.g. when auto top-up is enabled — coming soon). One-off top-ups always show a method picker.

## Supported payment types

- Major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, JCB, Discover).
- Other Stripe-supported methods may appear at checkout based on your country.

## Removing a card

You can remove any non-default card directly from the billing page. To remove the default card, set a different one as default first.

<Aside type="note">
  Card details are stored by Stripe, not by ai&. We only retain a token and last-4 digits for display.
