How can I make a bank transfer to Flywire? – Flywire

You can pay by bank transfer after creating a Flywire payment request and following the payment instructions provided for your payment.

A bank transfer is not completed directly on the Flywire website. You must send the funds through your own bank, such as through online banking, mobile banking, telephone banking, or by visiting a bank branch.

Create a payment request

Before sending a bank transfer, create a payment request through Flywire.

You can start from the payment link provided by your institution or organization. If you do not have a direct payment link, go to pay.flywire.com.

When creating your payment request:

Select your institution or organization.
Enter the country or region you are paying from.
Enter the payment amount.
Select one of the available bank transfer payment options.
Note: Depending on your payment country or region, available bank transfer options may include domestic bank transfer, international bank transfer, or other local bank transfer options. If you want to check non-local currency options, select I want to pay in another currency, at the bottom of the page if available.
Enter the required payer and payment information.
Review and confirm your payment request.

After your payment request is created, Flywire will generate your payment instructions.

Note: Based on review requirements for certain countries or regions, you may need to upload required documents before your bank transfer payment instructions become available. Please follow the instructions shown on your payment page.

Download your payment instructions

Your Flywire payment instructions will be shown after you create your payment request. You can also access them from your tracking page.

The payment instructions may include:

Flywire’s bank account details
Beneficiary information
Your Flywire Payment ID
Transfer amount and currency
Payment due date
Any important notes for your selected bank transfer method

You can download your payment instructions as a PDF and use them when sending the transfer through your bank.

Note: Use the payment instructions generated for your current payment request. Do not reuse bank account details, Payment IDs, or payment instructions from a previous payment.

Send the transfer through your bank

Use the beneficiary and bank account details shown in your Flywire payment instructions.

Depending on your bank, you may be able to send the transfer through one of the following methods.

Online or mobile banking

Log in to your bank’s online banking portal or mobile app.
Select the bank transfer option and enter the beneficiary and bank account details exactly as shown in your Flywire payment instructions.
Before submitting the transfer, review all details carefully, including the transfer amount, currency, beneficiary information, and Payment ID.

Bank branch

Visit your bank branch and ask to make a bank transfer.
Bring your Flywire payment instructions with you. The bank teller can use the beneficiary and bank account details in the instructions to help initiate the transfer.
Before leaving the branch, confirm that the transfer amount, currency, beneficiary information, and Payment ID are correct.

Telephone banking

If your bank supports telephone transfers, contact your bank and provide the beneficiary and bank account details from your Flywire payment instructions.
A bank representative can guide you through the transfer process.
Before confirming the transfer, check that the amount, currency, beneficiary information, and Payment ID are correct.

Include your Payment ID

Include your Flywire Payment ID in the bank transfer reference or payment message whenever possible.

Your Payment ID helps Flywire identify your funds and match them to your payment request.

If your bank does not allow you to include the full Payment ID, enter as much of the Payment ID as possible and follow any instructions shown in your Flywire payment request.

After you send your bank transfer

The time it takes for Flywire to receive your bank transfer depends on your bank, payment country or region, currency, and payment route. In many cases, it may take 1 to 3 business days for the funds to reach Flywire.

Once Flywire receives your funds, your payment status will be updated on your tracking page. Flywire will also send a confirmation email to the payer.

After Flywire receives your funds, payments are typically delivered to your institution or organization within 2 to 3 business days.

Note: Business days do not include weekends or public holidays in the payment sending country or receiving country. This may affect your payment processing time.

Important bank transfer reminders

Flywire will not ask for your personal bank login details.
Use the exact amount and currency shown in your payment instructions.
Send the transfer from the bank account or financial institution account that matches the payer information entered in your Flywire payment request.
Include your Payment ID whenever possible.
Review the Important info section for your selected payment method before sending funds.
Contact your bank if you cannot complete the transfer or if your bank rejects the account details.
If Flywire needs more information about your payment, we will contact the payer by email.
