The "Current Balance" amount shown through Transact is the live balance from your live student account, not the weekly bill statement invoice. Your weekly bill statement is a snapshot of the charges and credits as of the date on the bill.

Each semester, your financial aid will be memoed (shown as *anticipated) until all financial aid requirements are completed. Please make sure your financial aid requirements are completed so that all aid can be disbursed onto your bill.

The e-Bill is a snapshot as of the date listed on the bill. The financial aid will show on the next published bill date, typically every Wednesday.

eCheck / ACH:Ìý We recommend the eCheck/ACH method.Ìý This method is free and very secure.Ìý In this method, the payment amount is instantly deducted from your checking or savings account.Ìý You will need to enter your bank's routing number, checking or savings account number, and your personal information. Please note that Messiah University will only draft money from your account when you go through the eCheck process on the website. We do not allow for an automatic ACH at the time of the bill or on a periodic basis. Additionally, the person who holds the bank account being entered must initiate the transaction. Transactions are normally posted to the user's student account within one business day.

**IMPORTANT:Ìý We cannot accept credit card cash advance checks, brokerage account checks or any other check marked "Do Not Use for ACH."Ìý A $50.00 Fee will be charged for any paper check or e-Check/ACH returned for non-sufficient funds.

Credit Card:Ìý We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.ÌýThere is a 2.85% fee for domestic card payments and a 4.25% fee for international card payments.Ìý This fee amount will be stated during the checkout process and is in addition to the payment amount.Ìý The fee is levied by Transact,Ìýthe payment processor, and not the university.

Paper Check:Ìý We still accept the traditional method of mailing a check or appearing at the Falcon Exchange on the 2nd floor of Eisenhower Campus Center to make a payment in person.Ìý All paper checks are required to have the student's Messiah UniversityÌýID number in the memo line.Ìý
