Payments will take different lengths of time to reflect on your online statement depending on the payment method:

- Online debit or credit card payments: should reflect within 2 working days of the payment being made.
If your online payment has been unsuccessful please contact your bank or credit card provider as the University is not able to determine the reasons for payments being unsuccessful or declined.
If your payment does not reflect after 10 working days, then we would advise that you contact SID and provide them with the payment details, quoting your nine digit Exeter student number and name. We can then investigate the transaction.
If you have received an e-mail as your credit/debit card has now expired, or wish to change to a different card, please visit our dedicated 'Card update' webpage and follow the instructions to update your credit/debit card.
The University must adhere to banking regulations in relation to transactions with countries subject to sanctions as listed by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States (OFAC). Consequently, if you are from a sensitive sanctioned country as defined by the bodies listed, we can only accept payments from a UK bank account. Credit Card, cheque, bank drafts and bank transfers originating from a sensitive sanctioned country will not be accepted.
