International Payments

Please be advised that when paying your Stony Brook Invoice you should take the following steps to ensure you are not a victim of a payment scam:

1. NEVER give your SOLAR ID and Password to anyone else.

2. NEVER use an anonymous third party individual to pay your tuition for you.

3. NEVER use Credit Card or Bank Account information provided to you by someone else.

4. DON'T assume that someone can get a better currency exchange rate for you.

5. Make your payments via Flywire or directly to Stony Brook University.
6. Contact the Bursar's Office if you are unsure about how to safely make your payment.

The Bursar’s Office has partnered with Flywire to provide a streamlined way to make international payments that is both simple and cost effective.

New For 2021
The 2021 Flywire Charitable Foundation Scholarships

Alipay & UnionPay rates - Remaining for the rest of the year is Flywire's preferential pricing for Alipay (Chinese equivalent to PayPal) and UnionPay (most common credit card). Students will enjoy lower rates and faster settling time for both of these methods.
Indian Bank Loans - Flywire is able to process funds taken out as loans by Indian students. Flywire asks for the bank's Source of Funds in the payment experience and pre-fills a necessary foreign transaction document (LRS Form) to simplify the process.
Better rates in Brazil - Through a new partnership, rates for Boleto (the most common method of money transfer in Brazil) and credit cards will be less expensive than they've ever been!
