What payment options will I have?

The payment options we offer

We currently offer two types of payment options:

  • International Bank Transfer in EUR or USD

  • Domestic Payment in Local Currency

 

The payment options available to you

The payment methods you see depend on two main factors:


1. The country you are transferring from
When you begin the payment setup process, the tool will first ask where you are transferring from. Based on your answer, it will display the available options.

  • From most countries, you can make an international bank transfer in EUR or USD.

  • In some countries, you may also have the option to make a domestic payment in your local currency through our payment partner, Flywire.
     

2. Your profession (what you will do in Germany)

  • One of our payment providers is licensed only for education-related payments (such as opening a Blocked Account for a student visa).
  • If you selected a non-education-related profession (for example, job seeker), these options may not be available to you.
  • If you are a student (university student, exchange student, Studienkolleg participant, or PhD candidate), you may transfer funds directly in your local currency without the need for conversion to EUR.

 

❗️Important❗️

If you are transferring from the listed countries and your profession is university student, exchange student, studienkolleg, or PhD student, EUR bank transfer is not available at the moment. 

  • India
  • China
  • United States of America
  • Mexico
  • Colombia
  • Brazil

In this case, Flywire will be automatically provided as your payment method, allowing you to transfer funds in your local or preferred currency in a fast, secure, and cost-efficient way.


Tip: if you originally listed a non-education related profession but your plans about what you will do in Germany changed in the meantime, contact our customer support team and we will help you change your profession.

Note: We do not support crypto payment to blocked account at the moment.
