91��ܽ

Step 1: Set up your internet banking with one of the following banks or credit unions, and add a new bill payee on your account.

Add a new bill payee (if not already set up) of SFU-Residence or SFU-Residence and Meal Plan

• DO NOT select 91��ܽ for your residence and meal plan fee payment as this payment will only be applied to your tuition
• DO NOT pay your tuition fees through SFU-Residence or SFU-Residence and Meal Plan. This payment will be returned to your method of payment. If you wish to make a payment for your tuition or other non-residence fees, please visit here.

Use your SFU or FIC student ID number as the account / invoice / billing number. (Note: some banking institutions look for a 10 digit number for the student/billing number. SFU students can add a zero to the beginning of your student number.)

Step 2: Go to “Make a Payment” and enter the amount that you wish to pay.

• Proceed with the payment and save a copy of the page for your own record. The payment may take up to 3 business days to be received by SFU Residence.

IMPORTANT: It can take 3 business days for these funds to be received into your account. Ensure that you initiate your transaction in enough time for the funds to be received prior to the deadline of your residence fees. 

You can pay online using your debit card through your My Account on the Housing Portal:

Important Notes:

• A non-refundable 1.5% convenience fee will be applied to debit card payments.

• Your Housing Portal account will only reflect the payment amount received by SFU Residence & Housing (the convenience fee will not appear in your records).
• A confirmation email will be sent by the payment processor to the email address provided during payment.

Pay online through your My Account on the Housing Portal: from your bank account in your local currency – and converted to Canadian currency by Flywire. Your payment will show as ‘pending’ until it has been received.
