Wire Payments & International Payment Options for Students

Modified on Thu, 15 Jun 2023 at 03:15 PM

Texas A&M University no longer accepts direct wire transfers, and the SBS office does not provide the university's banking information.


Texas A&M University partnered with Flywire to provide a secure, seamless, and easy way to navigate wire payment solutions. The University then stopped disclosing its banking information to the public and decided to partner with Flywire to: 

 Reduce fraud risk footprints 


 Eliminate unidentified, missing or short balance international payments

 Improve the wire payment experience for students.


The most important aspect of the decision to use Flywire was for the security of the payments. With Flywire as its partner, Texas A&M University can now avoid providing its account information to students and outside entities. Furthermore, Flywire has a comprehensive anti-money laundering (AML) watch list and fraud control program, as well as more than 30 other government watch lists. Every payment is checked against the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), allowing Flywire to ensure that safe funds are delivered to the University in an accurate and timely manner.


Flywire also offers you a Best Price Guarantee for international education payments if you find a better price at your bank within two hours of booking a payment.
