• The most efficient means for an international student, who is not in the United States, is to pay student fees through Travelex’s Bank-to-Bank Transfer. This option allows the student to pay the US dollar student fees in the currency of choice. This service provides the student with a simple and secure way of initiating a payment electronically.
