Wire Transfer
1. WHAT IS A WIRE TRANSFER?
Wire transfers refer to an electronic transfer of funds one person or entity to another.
2. WHERE ARE WIRE TRANSFERS ACCEPTED?
Effective Fall 2022, CUNY and Convera GlobalPay for students have partnered through Nelnet to provide a convenient way for you to make payments for your tuition and other fees. This allows you to pay in your home currency, either online or by bank transfer, with competitive exchange rates and takes the stress and uncertainty out of paying for your tuition. To learn more, visit: Convera GlobalPay for Students | CUNY.
If you are experiencing issues paying with Convera GlobalPay, please contact the Bursar’s Office (bursar@jjay.cuny.edu).
3. HOW IS A WIRE TRANSFER RECORDED?
Wire transfers are posted to the student record as “Payment by Wire” or “Foreign Funds Wire.”
4. I HAVE BURSAR HOLDS FOR MY PAST-DUE BALANCE. CAN I USE A WIRE TRANSFER TO REMOVE IT?
Wire transfers will delay the removal of an account hold until the funds are:
- Deposited to John Jay’s tuition & fees account, and
- Successfully paid to student's financial account.
