We will change the following specifications for account transfer.
1. Available switching to a credit card post-pay when transferring the account
Summary
You were able to select "Credit card post-pay" for your payment method only when creating a new account, but you will be able to select it when transferring your account. This change is to improve the customer’s account operations.
If you want to switch to "credit card post-pay" during account transfer, select "Credit Card Post-pay In-house Account (or Agency Account)" under the subscription plan in the "contract information" section of the active account transfer request form.
You will also need to set up a new payment method after the account transfer is complete. Set up your payments from "Billing" > "Payments." See the following help page for details.
