Both organizations offer excellent exchange rates allowing you to initiate payment in your home country's currency (in most cases), and save a significant amount of money compared to traditional bank methods. The posting of your payment to the University will be faster, you will have the ability to track your payment and you will be notified when the University has received your funds.
