If you need to make an international payment, we have two options: Flywire or Convera.

Flywire (by peerTransfer)

New York University has partnered with Flywire (by peerTransfer) to streamline the tuition and fee payment process for international students. Flywire offers multiple payment options and currencies. Students and payers will be able to track their payments from start to finish, save on bank fees and exchange rates and contact Flywire's 24x7 multilingual customer support by chat, Skype, email, and telephone. NYU and Flywire do not charge a fee for this service. 

Please watch this instructional video for important information and a step by step guide. For those initiating a bank transfer, please note the 2 business day time limit to initiate the transfer with your bank.

Convera

NYU has partnered with Convera (formally Western Union) to facilitate wire payments to ensure that your payment is correctly credited to your account. Convera’s platform is trusted by 800+ institutions worldwide to enable payments in 140+ currencies across 200+ countries and territories. In order to make a wire payment, you must obtain a unique reference number (this number is unique to each particular wire request) by completing an online form (link below).

The reference number must be included on your bank's payment instructions. Please provide the Convera wire transfer form to your bank. If the ID number (provided on the PDF wire transfer form) is missing, the payment will not be credited to your account.

If you are paying using a foreign currency, please note that Convera is able to secure a rate for 72 hours after submitting the form. This rate will be used for your transaction. If you do not make a wire request with your bank within 72 hours of completing the form, you will need to fill out the form again to obtain a new reference number and a new rate quote.

Please note: 

After the 72 hour period, your Convera online form will EXPIRE and the exchange rate provided on the form will no longer be valid. If you do not make a wire request within the 72 hour period, you would need to generate a NEW online form to process the payment. Therefore, if you are paying via an installment plan with payment deadlines that are separated by several months, please fill out a NEW online form for each transfer.
