Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the invoice currency on my existing Microsoft 365 billing profile?

No, the invoice currency is tied to the country or region selected when the billing account was originally created. To change the currency, you must create a new billing profile.

Why am I being billed in USD instead of MXN in Mexico?

This generally happens if the original billing account was configured with the United States as the region, or if USD was specifically selected during the initial tenant setup.

Will I lose my data if I create a new billing account for Mexican Pesos?

No, your user data and files remain intact. However, you will need to reassign your existing Microsoft 365 subscriptions to the new billing profile, which usually requires assistance from Microsoft Support.

What payment methods are accepted for Microsoft 365 business accounts in Mexico?

Microsoft generally accepts major corporate credit cards, debit cards, and authorized bank accounts for wire transfers, depending on your region and the specific billing profile configuration.
