Verify the invoice
Match amount, currency, student name, application reference and deadline with the institution’s official portal. Verify sudden bank-account changes through an independent official channel rather than relying on a message alone.
Total costs and timing
Conversion, service fees, intermediary charges and the final received amount may differ. Match expected arrival with the institution’s deadline and ask about refunds if admission changes.
Receipt and reconciliation
Keep the receipt with the application reference and follow up on institutional reconciliation. Provider authorisation, identity checks and route legality must be reviewed before commitment.
