Payment Security and Compliance
- always take a moment to check the url address of the web page you are being directed to is legitimate. University web pages would start https://www.herts.ac.uk/
- you may be approached via social media web sites or in person, offering you alternative methods of payment with incentives and discounts. Our preferred payment methods listed above are all safe and secure means of payment, and we require all payments to be made using these approved methods only
- always pay your fees directly to the University using the approved methods; do not use third parties (individuals or companies). Unverified payments from unknown sources may trigger compliance checks and may be returned to the sender
- never make payment of your university fees using bank details provided to you in the text of an email or over the phone from anyone, as this may be a scam, and you may lose your money. Always use the University approved route
- convera and Flywire are responsible for processing payments and as a Financial Institution, they are obligated by compliance regulations to screen all payments against global databases and may therefore need to contact you for more information before passing the funds onto the University of Hertfordshire. If Convera or Flywire require additional information they will contact, you from a convera.com email address
- should you receive a request via email for more information about your payment, whilst taking care to cross check the email address, please ensure you respond to the email immediately as failure to do so may result in the payment being returned and you needing to make a replacement payment
- the University only issues refunds to the original payment source and is not liable for any losses from third-party transfers. Refunds will not be sent to any other bank details under any circumstances.
As a student, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by finances and the demands of university life. Fraudsters know this, and they’ll use any opportunity to trick you. By staying vigilant and knowing the warning signs, you can protect your money and personal information. Learn how to protect your identity, finances and future by referring to our useful fraud guide.
