Instructions for Sending a Bank Wire

When initiating your wire transfer, please remember to include the student's full name and Student ID Number (listed on the invoice) in the "beneficiary" section of the wire. Without this information, we will not be able to post the funds properly.

Please fax a confirmation of the wire transfer to (919) 668-2189, Attn: University Cashiering or send via email to cashier@duke.edu

Service charges are normally assessed by both the sending bank and any intermediary bank involved in completing the wire. In most cases, these fees are deducted from the wire before it reaches our bank. The student's account will be credited for the actual amount received (net of fees assessed by the sending bank(s).

When transferring funds to Duke University, for credit to a student's account with the Bursar's Office; please transfer only the amount that has been billed to the student for educational expenses. Do not send "spending" or "living expense" funds for a student to Duke University. The University is unable to transfer these funds to students on your behalf - you must send spending/living expense funds directly to your student. If these funds are received by the University, they will be applied to any outstanding charges on the student account. If there are no outstanding charges on the student account, or a significant credit balance results, we will hold this credit to be applied to future account charges.
