For ALL payments made by bank transfer, please send remittance advices to treasuryteam@cumbria.ac.uk to help us to match your payment to your account as quickly as possible. The remittance advice should provide:

  • Student/Customer ID

All fees are payable in UK sterling only and any costs incurred by bank transfer (e.g. handling charges or conversion costs) must be borne by the payer.

Please note that all BACS payments may be subject to checks due to money laundering regulations. Following a BACS payment we may therefore contact you to discuss:

  • The identity of the payer and their relationship to the customer/student
  • The source of funds for the payment

Please note that unless we are satisfied that the student or a parent/guardian has made the payment on their behalf with funds that are not the proceeds of criminal acts then we may be required to report the payment to the authorities which may or may not result in a refund and/or your debt remaining unpaid.
