International Payments

The University of Iowa has partnerships with CIBC International Student Pay and Flywire for a more cost-effective method for international students to wire funds from their home country. You will be offered excellent exchange rates allowing you to pay in your home currency (in most cases) and save a significant amount of money compared to traditional bank methods. The posting of your payment to the University will be faster, you will have the ability to track your payment and you will be notified when the University has received your funds.
