Algonquin College has partnered with Flywire to provide an innovative payment solution that offers students a simplified payment experience, providing around-the-clock customer support, real-time tracking of payments and a reduction in additional costs such as bank fees.
Note: In the event that a refund is required, Flywire payments made outside of Canada will be returned to the person making the payment. As a result, it is advisable that learners do not make payments through external parties, such as financial agents.
In some instances, banks in some countries are not familiar with Flywire and the formal payment arrangement that is established between Flywire and Algonquin College.
Below are some letters that our students can take to their bank, if the bank questions the Flywire payment requirement.
