Loan Payment Options

The Harvard University Student Loan Office has contracted with Convera to provide international students with a way to make student loan payments in the currency of their choice.  Convera offers a competitive rate of exchange as well as the convenience of being able to make payments in many international currencies through a local bank.  These payments usually take 2 to 5 business days after your local bank initiates payment to Harvard University.

Step 1: Initiate your payment quote online
•    Go to the Harvard Student Loan International Payment Portal   
•    Enter requested data (8-digit Harvard ID#, Name, Email).
•    Enter the amount due in U.S. Dollars.
•    Choose your currency type.
•    A payment amount in your currency of choice will automatically be generated. This quote is secured for 72 hours.
•    Agree to the payment amount and accept terms and conditions.
•    Download payment instructions, including a reference number, as a PDF document. You will need the reference number to complete your payment in Step 2.

Step 2: Transfer funds to Convera
•    The payment instructions will tell you how to transfer funds through your personal bank or online.
•    If you have your bank send the funds to Convera, be sure that they send your reference number.
