Urgent: Account for international Wire Transfer for Concordia University

[dsan_01]

I have to pay tuition fee today but online site of Concordia University did not show the below account details which I got from my consultant. Can somebody confirm that this is correct. I contacted University but they did not respond and also online it shows only Western Union option for international students.

Bank of Montreal
119 RUE ST-JACQUES - CSC
MONTREAL, PQ H2Y1L6
CANADA



Swift No. BOFMCAM2
Transit - 00011
Branch - 001
Account - 1992-471

So are the account details correct? How did you pay your fees? I have contacted them too but they are taking too long to respond. Can u help I need to pay my deferral fee.

I guess your account number is your studend ID if you are paying online.

I am also planning to pay thru wire transfer with Wester Union

 

[dsan_01]

I paid through direct wire transfer (which is going to phase out anytime) and yet not clear if they will accept it or not. Most probably by Tues will get to know.

Problem with Western Union is they were charging much more than the actual CAD rate eg I paid through HDFC. The rate of CAD I got from HDFC bank was 57.55 RS + 1000 transaction fee and with Western Union it was 59.19. So with 6518CAD fee, its 10-12 thousand more with Western Union. It was a daylight robbery by western union.

But today the price of CAD is even less in HDFC and Western Union is showing 57.80 which is respectable. So I think better to stick with Western union if the price difference is around 1000-2000rs.

57 is too much as i can see on xe it is 55.80..

It went well and super fast. Only catch: I lost 10$ in the process. Instead of deducting from my savings account, hdfc deducted it from the fee itself. Luckily I forgot that I already paid 250$ as part of confirmation so it did not matter much.

Thanks on this update !!

How many days it took for this transfer and did you see the fees receipt for this transcation on concorida portal ?

 

[dsan_01]

I submitted everything on friday. By Monday night, the portal started showing my transfer.

Hey,

Were you able to transfer directly to the account number mentioned above? Even my bank (State Bank of India) is not ready to transfer the money to Western Union

 

[Aditya.ver]

Direct wire trasfer is not available.
I had contacted university on this no.
514-848-2424 ext.7324(accounts dept) but they said we only take fees through Western union or Cibc.
And guys cibc charges less so u can go wid them.
