What should I do if my uni-assist payment fails?
First check the payment status in your My assist account and use only uni-assist's official payment instructions. If the payment does not show up, send your payment slip through uni-assist's official contact form.
Steps
- Check the status: see in My assist whether your payment has been recorded.
- Use the official route: uni-assist states that you can pay by bank transfer or credit card (3D Secure, Visa/Mastercard). Take bank details and your payment reference only from your own My assist account or uni-assist's official website.
- Waiting time: according to uni-assist, international transfers can take up to two weeks. If you have been waiting more than two weeks for the confirmation, send a copy of your payment slip via uni-assist's contact form; uni-assist will check whether the payment arrived.
- Card declined: ask your bank whether your card is enabled for international and 3D Secure payments, or pay by bank transfer instead.
Safety warning
Do not send money to bank details (IBAN, SWIFT/BIC) copied from forums, old guides or older versions of this page. The correct details are always in uni-assist's official channels.
