All international payments made through TransferMate are completely free of charge. You may be charged by your bank for making a local transaction, this is unfortunately out of our control.

Domestic transactions are subject to a $20 fee to cover costs.

By law, TransferMate is required to identify the person transferring funds to their bank account. Your identification will ensure that you and Lafayette College are protected against Money Laundering attempts.

What is accepted as viable Identification?

Any letter of offer/acceptance, including your name, which has been posted to you by the institution you are wishing to make payments to. In addition, TransferMate must receive a scanned copy of your photo identification (passport).

Once your payment has been received, the pending payment will be removed, and the transaction added to the Payment History in your student account center. Additionally, you will receive an email confirming that your payment was successful.

Once TransferMate receives your payment into their local bank account, they will transfer to Lafayette College’s account. These payments are generally received by Lafayette College the same day if payments are received by TransferMate’s banking branch of your respective country before 2pm GMT.

Your payments will automatically be posted to your student account within 24-48 hours from payment completion.

When the student registers the payment, it is displayed on the home page as a Pending Alternate Payment Method. Once the payment is made and funds are confirmed by TransferMate, the student account is updated, which can be seen in the Payment and Account History.

Students may set up authorized users to view their billing information and or their student bill on their behalf. Please note that, in accordance with FERPA, this does not allow the authorized user to view the student’s academic records, course schedule, or other personal information. Authorized users may view student account activity, make payments, and set up payment plans.
