UK bank accounts (preferred, standard method) 

Payment of student bursaries are normally made only to UK bank accounts.  Students are encouraged to open a bank account before arriving at 91ÌÒÉ« College.  Details of bank accounts should be submitted as soon as possible, using My 91ÌÒÉ« service.  

Overseas bank accounts (as an emergency measure for the first month) 

We are aware that it is not easy or quick for newly-arrived overseas students to set up a UK bank account.  Where possible, they should approach a branch of a UK bank in their own country, to see if arrangements can be made in advance of their arrival in the UK. 

As a short-term measure, we can make payment directly to an overseas bank account subject to the following conditions: 

(i)   The account must belong to the student, or to a parent or friend whose identity and connection to the student can be verified; 

(ii)  Details of the account (name and address of bank; name and address of account holder; swift code, bank account number and/or IBAN) should be sent to the bursary office by email, not using the secure e-service portal described above for UK banking details.  Emails should be sent from an 91ÌÒÉ« College email address (not gmail, Hotmail or similar), 

(iii)  As soon as a UK bank account is opened, the student should provide details via the e-service portal, and also send another email to the bursaries office to tell them to discontinue overseas payments. 

(iv)   Payments to overseas bank accounts will take longer than to UK banks. 

Please bear in mind that the amount you will be paid will vary due to exchange rates. This alternative option might also take considerably longer for the payment to reach the overseas bank account.
