Payment in Advance
Payment in Advance
Look at the options below to find out how to make Accommodation payments to Newcastle University
Payment in Advance for 2% Discount
If you pay your accommodation fees before your contract start date, you will be eligible for a 2% discount. This discount applies to your accommodation fees only, not to any 'extras' such as parking. Your contract will contain details of the discounted amount payable, and the date payment needs to be made. You will not receive an invoice for your accommodation fees if you choose this option, please pay the discounted charge only. If payment in full is not made before your contract start date, your discount will be forfeit and you will be invoiced in line with our termly billing periods.
Please note that the University does not accept cash payments.
Payment by UK bank transfer
You can pay by Open Banking or by bank transfer using Newcastle University's Payment Platform*
Open Banking is a commonly used payment solution that allows you to make an online real-time payment by bank transfer from your UK bank account.
You will be required to authenticate the payment in the same way as if you are processing a bank transfer using online banking on your mobile or computer e.g. a one-time passcode sent to you from your bank or facial recognition. Payments are processed through Sofort by Klarna, an Open Banking provider.
If you would prefer to pay by bank transfer this option is also available to you by using Newcastle University's Payment Platform*. Once you select pay by bank transfer you will receive the bank account details to make the payment to.
To make payment, visit Newcastle University's Payment Platform* and in the ‘Paying Fees from’ drop down menu select United Kingdom. Enter the amount you wish to pay and select Sofort to pay by Open Banking or select to pay by bank transfer.
*Our Payment Platform is called WU GlobalPay for Students and is powered by Western Union Business Solutions.
