FIRST YEAR RESIDENCE DEPOSIT METHODS

NOTE: E-mail money transfers or credit card payment are NOT accepted

Internet or Telephone Banking
It can take up to 2-3 business days for your payment to reach Queen’s University –  make your payment well in advance to avoid missing the deadline and losing your guarantee of residence.

You can use internet or telephone banking at most major banks and trust companies. If your own bank account is not set up for internet banking/telephone banking, your deposit can be paid from someone else’s account (perhaps a parent or guardian). We honour the date that payment is submitted online; please note that it may take several days to reach our office. For more information, contact your bank branch.

Wire Transfer
Some international students may find it more convenient to send their deposit by bank wire transfer. Please note that this method can take time to process and you may be asked to trace your payment.  We encourage you to make the payment well in advance of our deadline.  Students should also be advised that, aside from the initial bank, the receiving bank may also impose a charge and additional handling charges on the wire transfer.
