Payment and invoices

  • How can I change my invoice address?
    You can change your billing address by going to "Settings/Invoices & Accounts" followed by "Invoices & Accounts". Then just click on "Edit" next to the item you want to change. Once you've done that, enter your XING password to confirm your changes followed by "Save billing details".

    Your new invoice address will then be used for your next invoice. If you need to change the address for an invoice we have already issued, please enter the address as described and then contact us to let us know about this so we can send you a new invoice.

  • How can I change my bank details?
    You can change your bank details, credit card details, or PayPal account details by clicking on "Settings/Invoices & Accounts" (cog symbol in the left sidebar) followed by "Premium Billing". Then just click on "Edit" next to the item you want to change, enter your XING password to confirm the changes, and then click on "Save billing details".

    If you encounter any problems, please note the following points:

    - Make sure you enter numbers without any spaces or special characters.
    - Even if you only want to change your credit card's expiry date you'll need to re-enter all of your credit card details.
    - Don't forget to enter your credit card's security code.
    - Please make sure you enter your XING password and save your changes.

    Also make sure that your billing address is up to date and complete (all of the mandatory fields must be filled in), otherwise you won't be able to save your billing details.

    You can view all of your current and previous invoices online at any time by clicking on the "Invoices & Accounts" icon (the € symbol in My XING on the left-hand side of the page) followed by "Invoices". All invoices are digitally signed.
  • Are invoices digitally signed?
