How to make a payment via MyEd

In some cases, you may wish to pay your student academic fees by Flywire bank transfer outside the annual registration process — for example, to make an advance payment or to settle an outstanding balance in full rather than by instalments. You can do this through the University’s MyEd portal. Please do not use any other Flywire links to make your payment.

Once you have logged into MyEd with your student username and password, navigate to the Accounts tab, then select My Finance to find the payment option. Refer to the step-by-step guide below on completing a bank transfer.

If someone else is paying on your behalf (e.g. parent or guardian), you will be able to generate bank transfer instructions for them to use at their own bank. Alternatively, if supported in your region, you will see an option to make an instant bank transfer using online banking. Please be aware that this payment option requires the payer to be present to log into their online banking account and authorise the instant payment.

If you do not have access to MyEd, please contact Edhelp.

Beware of using other providers  

The methods of payment we offer are very safe and allow us to track your payments, which is why we recommend them.  

You should not use a third party agent or ask someone you do not know to make a payment to the University. These methods may appear cheaper, but they may not be safe or may involve hidden costs.
