Tips for IBAN & Reference Entries
Many international students face errors when entering IBAN or payment references. Here’s how to avoid common mistakes:
1. Double-Check the IBAN & SWIFT Code
Ensure that you copy and paste the IBAN number exactly as provided.
If your bank asks for a SWIFT code, verify that it matches the institution's records.
2. Always Include Your Full Name & Student ID
Many payments fail to process because the sender’s name doesn’t match the student’s name.
In the payment reference section, write:
"[Your Full Name] – PLA Course Payment – [Student ID]"
3. Consider Wise (formerly TransferWise) for Lower Fees
Some banks charge high international transfer fees. Using a multi-currency service like Wise can save money on conversion rates.
