You must create a new ACH electronic payment method. Once logged in to TouchNet, select the Payment Methods page under My Account. Click on Add New Payment Method and select Electronic Payment Check Method. Enter all required banking information and enter a name for your new Saved Payment Method, for ex., Tuition Account. This name must be different from your saved payment method used during your original payment plan enrollment. Next, select the Payment Plans page.

International families are welcome to participate. University of Pennsylvania is a partner with Flywire (formerly peerTransfer) to streamline the tuition payment process for our international students. With Flywire, you are offered excellent foreign exchange rates, allowing you to pay in your home currency (in most cases) and save a significant amount of money compared to traditional banks. You will also be able to track where your payment is in the transfer process via a student dashboard and an email confirmation will be sent to you when your payment is received by the school.
If you are using Flywire for your payment plan payment method, be sure to include your name, PennID and note this is for the payment plan. Not making reference to the above will delay posting of your payments to the Payment Plan. Payment must be received at least 5 to 7 business days prior to the due date to allow processing and posting to the Payment Plan.
