Bill Payment

- Users are advised to complete payments promptly to maintain a healthy cycle of financial operations on the platform.

The email includes a breakdown of all itemized costs for the user’s team, individual member expenses, and a link to detailed billing records.
Billing statements for HPC Phase I & II and HPC Phase III will be sent separately.
-
Users must verify the accuracy of their team’s billing statement by the 4th of each month.
