TransferMate

UMKC has partnered with TransferMate to streamline the tuition payment process for our international students.

Now you can make your international payments in your own local currency and to a local bank account directly in Touchnet. 

When you are ready to pay in TouchNet, under Select Method, click on TransferMate and click Continue.

Watch this short video that shows you the easy step by step instructions to make your international payment with TransferMate.

Although not the preferred method, you may also make an international payment through Flywire if you are not able to make a payment through TransferMate.  Go to https://pay.flywire.com and Search for University of Missouri – Kansas City. 

If you are not able to send payment with TransferMate or FlyWire, UMKC accepts online payments with checking account, debit card, or credit card in TouchNet. You can also mail personal checks, money orders, or cashiers checks and you can pay in person with cash, personal check, cashiers check, or money order during office hours.  

You can find additional information on various other payment methods at https://www.umkc.edu/cashiers/payments-and-billing/payment-methods.html

Our office strongly discourages paying with large sums of cash.  Paying with cash is time consuming and the least secure payment option. Instead, you should pay with a paper personal check, a certified/cashiers check from your bank, money order, or e-check in TouchNet.    There is no cost for submitting an e-check payment in TouchNet, all you need is your bank’s routing number and your personal account number.

Instructions to make your payment by echeck or credit card in TouchNet are at https://www.umkc.edu/cashiers/docs/make-a-payment.pdf

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PAYMENT

DUE DATE/MINIMUM PAYMENT

If you do not pay your balance in full by the first due date of the semester you automatically default into the standard current semester payment plan.  Refer to your monthly invoice for the monthly minimum payment each month.  If you fail to make the minimum invoiced payment or any of your aid is reduced your minimum payment will default to the total amount due on the next invoice.

•  The Fall due dates are 08/20, 09/20, 10/20 and 11/20.
•  The Spring due dates are 01/20, 02/20, 03/20 and 04/20.
•  The Summer due dates are 06/20 and 07/20.

The first payment of the semester is 25% of your outstanding balance less any aid, scholarship, or fee waivers that have been applied.  This payment is due even if you enroll after the first invoice of the semester is prepared.

Please remember any unpaid balance you carry from one invoice to the next is subject to a 1% monthly finance charge.  You should pay as much as possible as early as possible to reduce the overall dollar amount of the finance charge.  A $25.00 late fee is assessed each month that a partial payment isn’t received. The only way to avoid the 1% monthly finance charge is to pay your balance in full, not the minimum payment.

Your minimum payment will not always be 25% of your balance.  The 25% each due date works if, and only if,

1. You make all the previous minimum payments on time,
2. Don’t add any new fees to your account after the initial invoice or enroll after the first invoice of the semester, and
3. You accept all the aid reflected on your invoice.  Your minimum payment for each month will depend on several things including: the 1% monthly finance charge, any new charges you add to your account, any aid adjustments that might take place, how much you pay for the previous invoice, and how many due dates are left in the semester.  You’ll receive an updated invoice around the 27^th of each month that will reflect your current balance and your next minimum payment.

In most cases you can override the default amount in TouchNet to pay any amount if you are paying online.  If you have anticipated aid that you are not going to accept you may need to log into Pathway and decline that aid in order to pay the total due in TouchNet.
