Please be mindful that you must access Flywire via the University's portals to pay your tuition fees. Please do not try to access Flywire direct.
Accessing Flywire's payment pages
During registration
During online registration you must complete a section named ‘Fees and Payments’. If you are a self-funding student you will reach the page below. Clicking the ‘All other payment methods’ button in blue will direct you to Flywire's payment pages.
After registration
To pay any fees once you are a registered student, log into Samis, within the 'Samis Home' tab, scroll down to 'My Student Finance' and click 'Make a Payment'.
Any outstanding invoices will be displayed. Select the invoice(s) you would like to pay and click 'Pay selected items', check the new balance to pay and click 'Pay by Flywire'.
Select the country your payment is coming from
On the first of Flywire's payment screens, you should identify the country which your payment will come from. This does not mean the country you are currently in, it means the country where the paying bank account is held.
Select your preferred payment method, domestic bank transfer
You will be able to book a bank transfer in your local currency by clicking 'Select' next to the 'Domestic Bank Transfer' option.
To book a bank transfer in an alternative currency, please scroll down to 'I want to pay in another currency' and select a currency and payment method e.g. GBP bank transfer or USD bank transfer.
Please be aware, if the currency you select to pay in is different to the currency of your bank account, your bank will apply an exchange rate and convert your payment.

Provide the payer's contact information
You must provide the payer's information. Flywire will use this information to carry out due diligence checks and ensure the payment is received from the correct payer. If a payment is received from a someone different, the payment will be returned.
Review and confirm payment details
On the 'Review and confirm...' page, you will be asked to check that all information you have provided is correct, proceed by clicking 'Next'. Click 'Previous' to make any changes. Clicking 'Next' will book your payment, the payment status will then be pending / 'Initiated'.
Make payment from your bank
Now the payment is 'booked' / 'initiated' / 'pending', you will be presented with payment instructions. You can export the payment instructions to PDF by clicking the blue button 'Download instructions for the bank transfer'.
The payer must now make a bank transfer to the details provided ensuring the payment ID is quoted as the payment reference.
Please note, Flywire and partners have bank accounts all over the world so the beneficiary address is likely to be in the region your payment is coming from, rather than UK.
Please be aware, Flywire is not part of the UK's 'Confirmation of Payee' scheme. Payers making UK domestic bank transfers using their banking app are likely to receive a notification that the payer's name cannot be verified. This is expected, please ensure the account details are correct and proceed to pay.
After payment
Flywire will send you an email confirmation once your payment is received, this can take up to 3 working days after you have made payment.
Once the payment has been allocated to your student account, you will receive a University receipt.
