Direct Bank Wire Transfers
Bank to Bank Wire Transfers are same day deposits if sent from a US bank. Direct Wire Transfer is available for an additional flat service fee of $25 per deposit, regardless of the amount, if made from a US bank. You must make a telephone arrangement with the OSEA Director to receive the correct banking information to set up the payment. This must be one day in advance of domestic wires, 5 business days for foreign bank transfers.
If you send payment from a foreign bank you must ensure that the amount received is in US dollars at the required amount plus a wire transfer fee of $45. Your bank will also directly charge you a fee for the wire. The amount that is received must take into account the correct foreign exchange rates such that the amount RECEIVED is equal the full amount of the total due include all tuition, program fees, late fees, bank handling fees, and foreign exchange commissions.
Wire deposits require prior arrangement with OSEA’s Director, Quetzil Castañeda, by telephone.
Your Own Bank's (non-Zelle) Online Banking Bill Payment Service
Participants have the option to set up a bill payment via their own personal Online Banking Services for bill payments. This requires 14 days advance arrangement for your bank to establish the connection with the OSEA bank. Thus this requires making a secure private phone communication with the OSEA Director in order to provide you with the OSEA bank information that is required.
There are no additional fees for this type of payment from your online banking bill pay services.
Use “quetzil@osea-cite.org” as the recipient.
Use message space to communicate any specific instructions.
PopMoney or Venmo
OSEA is now accepting the use of PopMoney and Venmo for payments. These services are similar to PayPal, but has much lower sending and receiving fees.
You need to set up your account so that you can make payments with your debit card or from your bank account. Setting up your bank with popmoney takes 7-10 days. You must arrange this ahead of time to not be charged late fees.
PopMoney charges less than $1
for each amount of money sent regardless of the amount up to a maximum of $2000 US .For most OSEA program costs, participants will have to make two payments. OSEA does not charge any additional handling or service fee for the use of Popmoney.com There is a 30 day maximum limit of amount of $5000 that can be sent from your bank account.
Popmoney is ideal for payment if your bank does not have Zelle fees and the balance of payment. Due to PopMoney limits on the amount that can be sent in one day, the payment of the balance of tuition and fees would require two payments made over a two day period. PopMoney would therefore charge you $2.
