What Is a Credit Balance on Your 1-Grid Account?

- Automatic Renewal Protection prevents downtime or missed renewals.
- Budget-friendly means you can manage expenses proactively by pre-funding your account.
- Convenient means avoiding repeated manual payments for every invoice.
- Flexible means using your credit for any 1-grid service whenever needed.
- Secure gives you peace of mind as payments are handled in your 1-grid Customer Zone.
