You can use Flywire to pay your institution or organization using the payment options available to you. Follow the steps below to create your payment request, complete your payment, and track its progress.
1. Open your institution’s payment page
Use the Flywire payment link provided by your institution or organization. If you do not have a link, visit pay.flywire.com.
On the general payment page, select the country or region where your institution is located, then search for and select your institution.
If you cannot find your institution, or the page says the payment portal is unavailable, contact your institution to confirm the correct payment link.
2. Enter your payment country and amount
Select the country or region your payment is coming from. This should usually match where your bank account, card, or other payment method is issued, which may differ from where you currently live.
Check the amount and currency shown on the page. If you need to enter an amount, follow your institution’s payment instructions.
3. Choose a payment method
Flywire displays the options available for your institution, payment country or region, currency, and amount.
Before choosing, compare:
- The amount and currency you will pay
- Any required documents or other conditions under Important info or More info
If you want to pay in a different currency, select I want to pay in another currency at the bottom of the page, if available, and review the options shown.
Your bank or card issuer may charge fees in addition to the amount displayed by Flywire. Learn more about what is included in your payment amount.
If your preferred method is missing, see I don’t see my preferred payment method. What should I do?
4. Enter the payer and payment information
Enter the details of the person making the payment. The payer information should match the bank account holder or cardholder whose funds will be used.
Then enter the information requested by your institution, such as a student ID or invoice number. If someone is paying on a student’s behalf, make sure the student information identifies the correct student.
Review the details before confirming your payment request.
5. Complete your payment
After you create your request, follow the instructions for your selected payment method.
Note: For some payment methods, you may need to submit required documents for verification before payment instructions become available. Follow the prompts on your payment page.
Bank transfer
For a domestic or international bank transfer, access the payment instructions for your current request. They show the amount, currency, receiving bank details, and payment reference to use.
Send the funds through your bank, such as through online banking, mobile banking, or a bank branch. Creating the Flywire request does not initiate the bank transfer.
Always use the instructions for your current payment request. Do not reuse instructions from a previous payment.
See how to access your payment instructions.
Card or other online payment
Follow the prompts to complete your payment on your Flywire tracking page or through the payment provider’s secure website.
Complete any additional steps shown for your payment method.
6. Track your payment
After your payment request is created, Flywire sends the payer an email with the payment details and tracking link.
Use your tracking page to check your payment status and any next steps. You can also access payments linked to your Flywire account through My payments.
See What does my payment status mean? for an explanation of each status.
7. Flywire receives and processes your payment
The time it takes for your funds to reach Flywire depends on your payment method. Bank transfers typically take 2–3 business days after your bank releases the funds. Timing for card and other online payments varies by method.
Once Flywire receives or confirms your funds, your tracking page updates. Your institution may also be able to view your payment status.
Some payments require additional verification. Check the payer’s email inbox and spam folder, and follow any requests for information or documents.
8. Your payment is delivered
After Flywire receives or confirms your funds, processing and delivery to your institution typically take 2–3 business days. Additional verification or differences in the payment amount, currency, or details may cause delays.
Once your payment is delivered, Flywire sends a confirmation email, and you can download your payment receipt.
Your institution may need another 2–3 business days to update its records. If you are concerned that your balance still shows as unpaid, share your Flywire receipt and Payment ID with your institution.
Business days generally exclude weekends and applicable bank holidays. For more information, see Payment timelines and status updates.
What if I cannot create or complete my payment request?
Follow any message or instructions shown on the payment page. If you are still unable to continue, contact Flywire Support with the error message and your Payment ID, if available.
If the page says an existing payment request is preventing you from creating another one, share that message and the existing Payment ID with Support so we can help you confirm the next steps.
