Pay using a bank giro

Students with Irish bank accounts can request an official Fees Office bank giro.  Log into your student portal using your student ID number and pin and click on (1) pay fees and then (2) giro request "go".  A bank giro will be forwarded to your home address within five working days.

If you don't use our official NUI Galway Fees Office bank giro your payment may remain unidentified and may not be matched to your student record.  Late fines are applied to unpaid student fees.

Do not use Banking 365 or Banking Online as these payments WILL NOT match directly to your student record and you may incur late payment penalties.

Please note that any payment into our Fees Bank account should be accompanied by a PAC or NUI Galway Student ID number.  Failure to use this ID number will result in the payment not being matched to your student record.

International fee payments can be made as follows:

1.  Payment via recognised agent ’EduStep’ (PaytoStudy)
Non-European Union (EU) students are strongly advised to pay their tuition fee through the PaytoStudy.

The PaytoStudy receipt is accepted as proof of payment of tuition fees by the Irish National Immigration Service (INIS) for study visa applications and at the point of entry to Ireland.

With PaytoStudy there is no international bank transfer fee and the entire transaction takes just 48 hours from start to finish. PaytoStudy is also recommended by the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service for the purposes of study visa applications.

2.  International Wire Transfer 
Alternatively, you may pay by international wire transfer, using the following  bank account details:

Bank of Ireland
43 Eyre Square   
Galway                                
Ireland  
Account Name:  National University of Ireland, Galway
Account Number: 28454143
IBAN: IE43 BOFI 9038 1628 4541 43
Sort Code: 90-38-16  
Swift Code: BofIIE2D

If you use the international wire transfer method it may take up to 9 working days to have this amount credited to your student record and there is a bank charge which is borne by the student.
