International Wire Transfers

Business Services is proud to partner with Convera to offer international students a way to make account payments via wire transfer. This program offers a simple electronic payment mechanism which is secure, fast and available in the student's local currency.

Convera is the new brand name that was previously known as Western Union Business Solutions, which is part of an exciting company acquisition that started in August 2021. Through our partnership, we offer the GlobalPay for Students online payments platform which will now be known as Convera. We want to reassure students that the Convera platform has all the same features and benefits as before but will have a different look in terms of color and cosmetic changes only. There will be no impact to the service provided to you.

To pay your student balance by wire, please visit The University of Southern Mississippi International Wire Transfers.

• Use your own currency. Your full payment amount will be received in U.S. dollars.
• Exchange rate quote is held for 72 hours therefore, the full amount arrives every time.
• Your funds will arrive in full, on time and without deductions or delays.
