WU-View Billing/Payment Portal | Washburn University (2024)

The most convenient way to pay online is with a debit card. There is no waiting for account validation, no service fee is charged by the processor, and a Business Office hold can be lifted if the balance is paid in full. For debit card transactions, please note that daily transaction limits on your bank account may restrict the amount that can be paid. Contact your bank to increase your daily limit if you feel the transaction will exceed your limit. Debit cards can only be used for online payments if a Visa or Mastercard logo is on the front of the card.

Electronic checks (webchecks) can also be used without a service fee, but holds will not be lifted for 7 to 10 days to allow time for the payment to clear the bank. Beginning in March 2021, banks require ACH validation of anynewly entered checking account before it can be used for payment. This delays the ability to make an initial webcheck payment by approximately a week. Keep this in mind when planning to use checking accounts for payments and set up the account early enough for the validation to process. This change will not affect checking accounts set up as a saved payment method prior to March 2021 or those accounts that have been validated.

Online credit card payments run through a separate payment processor, TouchNet PayPath. Keep in mind that all credit card payments will incur a non-refundable service fee charged by the processor. Please reviewtheCredit Card Policyfor more information on the fee percentage for online credit card payments.
