    • Who is eligible for Oracle Cloud Free Tier?

      One Oracle Cloud Free Trial or Always Free account is permitted per person. Please note:

      • Creating or attempting to create multiple free accounts is prohibited.
      • All contact and billing information provided must be accurate, valid, and used with consent for the duration of the account.
      • Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the suspension or termination of your account.
    • Why do I need to provide credit or debit card information when I sign up for Oracle Cloud Free Tier?

      To provide free Oracle Cloud accounts to our valued customers, we need to ensure that you are who you say you are. We use your contact information and credit/debit card information for account setup and identity verification. Oracle may periodically check the validity of your card, resulting in a temporary “authorization” hold. These holds are removed by your bank, typically within three to five days, and do not result in actual charges to your account.

    • What payment methods does Oracle accept?

      We accept credit cards and debit cards that function like credit cards. We do not accept debit cards with a PIN or virtual, single-use, or prepaid cards.
