Money transfer
- If you transfer the money from a foreign bank, please take into account the international transaction fees charged by the bank. You have to pay the transaction fees as well, since uni-assist can only process your application if the processing fee has been paid completely!
- If you transfer the money from a German bank, the international transaction fees will not be charged. It is of course possible for your friends and relatives who have a bank account in Germany to transfer the processing fee for you.
- It is important that the transfer form is filled in completely, legibly and in block letters! If we are unable to assign a payment to an application because some information is missing or it is not legible, the payment cannot be registered and therefore the application will not be processed!
- Concerning payment, we have another important request: if you are paying for several applicants, please transfer the money separately – one transfer form per applicant! A separate money transfer for each semester would also be rather helpful. Otherwise, a money transfer for several semesters at once could cause problems in the processing!
