By law, TransferMate is required to identify the person transferring funds to their bank account. Your identification will ensure that you and your institution are protected against money laundering attempts.
Once your payment has been received, the pending payment will be removed and the transaction added to the Payment History in your student account center. Additionally, you will receive an email confirming that your payment was successful.
Once TransferMate has received your payment into the local bank account in your country, TransferMate sends your payment the same day from their account to Western Wyoming Community College. These payments are generally received by Western the same day if payments are received into TransferMate's local account in your country before 2pm GMT.
Your payment will automatically be posted to your student account withing 24-48 hours from payment completion.
When the student registers the payment, it is displayed on the home page as a Pending Alternate Payment Method. Once the payment is made, and funds are confirmed by TransferMate, the student account is updated and it can be seen in the Payment and Account History.
Students may set up authorized users to view their billing information and or their student bill on their behalf. Please note that, in accordance with FERPA, this does not allow the authorized user to view the student's academic records, course schedule, or other personal  information. Authorized users may view student account activity, make payments and set up payment plans. To set up an authorized user, log in to your MyWestern account. Scroll down to Student Finance and click on Account Dashboard. On the right hand side of the screen, select Authorized Users and follow the prompts. The authorized user must setup their information within 24 hours of receipt of email.
