Hello @Martin Georgiev Thank you for contacting us through Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to help!
Based on the information provided, I understand that you are trying to help your friend sign up for Azure Pay-As-You-Go subscription and would like to know if wire/bank transfer can leveraged in place of credit card.
Short Answer: Trust me, this is not possible!
To create the Azure account, you MUST provide any credit card.
After creating the account, you can switch the payment method to Wire/bank transfer. Documentation reference: Pay your Microsoft Customer Agreement or Microsoft Online Subscription Program Azure bill - Microsoft Cost Management | Microsoft Learn
My recommendation in this case would be to sign up for the free account which you can use to get free $200 credit which allows you to use any service without incurring costs. Azure free account FAQ - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/free/free-account-faq# For your situation, I would recommend you contact Azure Sales team - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/contact to help you get started with your Azure free Account
Hope this helps. Please write back to us if you have any questions.
