Wire Transfers & International Electronic Payments
Those wishing to make payments to the student account via wire transfer or international electronic transfer should do so using Convera GlobalPay for Students through IRISHPAY*. This option allows families to pay the student account balance in the local currency and provides a simple and secure way of initiating a payment electronically.
Please note:The Office of Student Accounts cannot accept a wire transfer in excess of the amount due on the student account. If a transfer is received that is in excess of the account balance, the excess amount may be returned to the sender. (Families wanting to provide their student with funds for living expenses should transfer funds directly to the student’s personal bank account.)
