Payments with Flywire
Payments through Flywire are now available for all outstanding charges* on your goSFU account. This payment option is available for transactions both within Canada and internationally.
*Note: Do not use Flywire for transcript payments. Instead, please make transcript payments via credit card with Moneris.
If you are making a payment within Canada, the following payment methods are available through Flywire. Please note that some payment methods may incur service fees. The processing time for payments made through Flywire depends on the payment method you select in the Flywire portal. For more details, please refer to the table provided.

*The service fee is charged directly to the payer and is non-refundable. Since SFU partners with Flywire, 100% of the service fees are collected by Flywire.
Payment from outside Canada
If you are making a payment from outside of Canada, Flywire allows you to pay the equivalent Canadian dollar amount in your local currency at a nearby bank or through a specific payment option available in your country. This service offers a competitive exchange rate. Flywire will convert your payment at the locked-in rate (which is guaranteed for 48 hours). Once your payment is received, Flywire will deliver the funds to SFU within three business days. Please note that some payment methods may incur service fees.
