Flywire accepts credit and debit card payments for certain institutions, organizations, countries, regions, currencies, and payment amounts. Available card options may include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or other card brands.
If card payment is available for your payment, it will be shown as an option when you create your payment request.
Step 1: Check available card payment options
To check if you can pay by credit or debit card, start creating a payment request. You can use the direct payment link provided by your institution or organization, or go to pay.flywire.com.
- Select your institution or organization.
- Enter the country or region you are paying from.
- Enter the payment amount.
- Review the available payment options.
If a credit or debit card option is available, select it from the list.
If a specific card brand is not shown, Flywire does not currently offer it for your selected payment details.
Step 2: Review fees, limits, and card requirements
Before confirming your payment request, review the total amount, currency, and payment details.
Check the More info section for important details, such as:
- Card payment fees
- Transaction limits
- Processing information
- Card or payer requirements
- Local verification or document requirements
The total amount shown includes Flywire’s fees and any processing fees charged by Flywire’s payment partner. Flywire will not charge additional fees beyond the final amount shown when you confirm your payment request.
Step 3: Complete your card payment
After selecting a card payment option, follow the instructions on the payment page.
You may be asked to provide:
- Card number
- Cardholder name
- Expiration date
- Security code, such as CVV, CVC, CSC, or CCV
- Billing address
Before submitting your payment, make sure:
- Your card details are entered correctly
- The cardholder(payer) name matches the name shown on the card
- Your card has enough available balance or credit limit
- Your card is active and not expired
- Your card is enabled for online and international payments
- Your card brand matches the card payment option selected in Flywire
Step 4: Track your payment and delivery
After your card payment is successfully submitted, your payment status will be updated on your tracking page. Flywire will also send a confirmation email to the payer.
For most card payments, confirmation is usually quick. Once your payment reaches a confirmed or guaranteed status, your institution or organization may be able to view your payment status.
If you need to follow up with your institution or organization before the payment is delivered, provide your Flywire Payment ID so they can check the status on their side.
Payments are typically delivered to your institution or organization within 2 to 3 business days after confirmation.
Once your payment is delivered, Flywire will send a delivery confirmation email. You can also download your payment receipt from your tracking page.
