International Payments - IFT
Paying for your education just got easier with Transact International Payments
International Funds Transfer (IFT) payments will now be available on UCSC eBill/ePay. This will give our international students a secure and seamless way to pay for tuition and fees in their currency of choice.
The option is available when you go to make a payment in UCSC eBill/ePay and allows payments from over 180 countries, using more than 140 currencies, including Alipay, WeChat, and other popular alternative payment methods.
This payment option can be used to pay towards your balance or to make a housing payment, just as you can with eChecks and Credit Cards.

Once a payment has been initiated, you will be able to print the instructions for completing the payment. They will also be sent to you via your receipt. When the payment is completed, the payment will be automatically posted to your MyUCSC account. Please allow 1 to 2 business days for the payment to be posted to MyUCSC.
Any credit balances on IFT payments will be refunded back out through UCSC eBill/ePay and Transact/TransferMate to the original payment type/payer. Excess funds will NOT be refunded to the student. This is not the way to get funds to your student for expenses outside of their student account.
UCSC still allows payments using international credit cards. Simply select credit card as your payment option in UCSC eBill/ePay
