There are five ways for British universities to pay tuition fees:

First, use a credit card.

Generally speaking, most parents choose to give their children a subsidiary card of a US dollar credit card in China, and pay their children's tuition and miscellaneous fees to the school account, and parents will return RMB to the main card in China. If the main card is linked to another RMB account in China for automatic repayment, the bank will automatically repay the money at the exchange rate of the day by the repayment deadline of each month.

2. Use money orders, telegraphic transfers and traveler's checks.

1. To use money orders, you need to go to a designated bank, such as the one you handle at the Bank of China. You need to go to the Bank of China in the UK to exchange the money and transfer it to the bank where you open an account in the United States. There is no charge for overseas exchange.

2. Bank telegraphic transfer is one of the traditional ways. After receiving the information of the school bank (RoutingNumber,SwiftCode, etc.), the foreign students will directly transfer the money to the school account, especially indicating their name, school ID and remittance purpose in English in the remittance postscript, such as Tuition Fee, which usually takes 2-3 working days.

3. Traveler's checks have the characteristics of both draft and check (cash), and have different denominations, which can be directly used for payment. At present, most domestic banks can handle the travel expenses of AmericanExpress. A handling fee of .5%-1% (mostly 1%) is charged according to the handling amount.

Third, online payment in official website, a university.

Now many British universities in official website have opened channels for online payment of deposits and tuition fees. Children's shoes with USD, GBP or dual-currency credit cards can choose this method, which is convenient and fast.

Fourth, carry cash.

This method is dangerous, but it is also the most convenient. In addition, you can issue a certificate for carrying cash. For example, if you deposit US dollars in China Bank and take them out, you can issue a certificate for carrying foreign exchange in China Bank, but don't bring yourself unnecessary trouble in entry and exit.

V. Payment outside unionpay international.

The account is deducted in RMB, and there is no currency conversion fee.
