While most payment methods at ACLAS are designed to be flexible and secure, some payment options may include
additional handling or processing fees depending on the method you choose. These fees are not charged by ACLAS but by
third-party payment processors to cover their operational and transaction costs.
Ways to Avoid Extra Charges
1.
Choose Payment Methods Without Processing Fees
You can avoid the 6%
payment processing fee by selecting payment options that do not impose extra charges, such as:
-
PayMyTuition (low or no additional fee except the standard convenience fee shown before payment)
-
USDT (Cryptocurrency)
-
Western Union
2.
Pay in Full Instead of Installments
If you choose an
installment plan, a
$2 handling fee is applied to each payment. Paying your tuition in full can help you avoid these recurring charges.
3.
Avoid Certain Gateways That Apply Processing Fees
The following payment gateways include a 6% processing fee per transaction:
- PayPal
- Wintopay
- Geoswift
- Xendit
4.
Review All Fees Before Confirming Payment
Before completing your payment, carefully review the
payment quote or invoice summary. All applicable fees are displayed upfront by the payment processor so you can choose the most cost-effective option.
Important Notes
- If you want to minimize costs, we recommend using PayMyTuition, USDT, or Western Union, and paying your tuition in full.
