E-Payment with PayNow QR / Convera / Credit Card / Debit Card / AliPay

Effective from 1 January 2024, individuals who pay using Credit Card/Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and AliPay will incur a 1% processing fee. For example, if the tuition fee due is S$1,000 (inclusive of GST), the processing fee will be S$10 (inclusive of GST), making the total payment S$1,010.

Please note that the payment mode cannot be changed once payment is made.

Students are encouraged to use other payment modes (e.g. GIRO, Convera via NUSFastPay, PayNow QR via NUSFastPay) which have no processing fees. Individuals may also use telegraphic transfer, which is subject to the usual bank charges.

Any credit balance arising from excess payment will be used to offset your next semester’s fees payable. If there is still an excess balance in your Student Account in the final semester of your studies, the amount will be automatically refunded to your Receiving Bank Account (Credit Bank Account). If you wish to get a refund for the excess payment made before the final semester of your studies, please log a case via our FAQ Portal. To facilitate the refund, please update your “Receiving Bank Account (Credit Bank Account)” via Education Records System (EduRec) (see FAQs on GIRO Payment).

You may request for the refund to be made to the credit card from which you originally paid from.

The “Convera” payment mode is for international students to pay your tuition fees and other fees billed in EduRec. Please note that this payment mode can be used to pay for fees from “Education Records System” only. If you add any other fees to your cart, the “Convera” tile will not appear for you to choose. You can also refer to the Convera website for more information.
