How to Fund Your Blocked Account with Flywire
Log In to Your Account
Sign in to your Fintiba account and navigate to the Blocked Account. Here, you can initiate the transfer process by clicking "Start funding".
Select Payment Amount
Choose how much you'd like to transfer. We advise sending the full amount in one transfer. It makes your refund easier if your visa is rejected.
Confirm Who Is Paying
Indicate whether you will be making the payment yourself or if someone else will be transferring on your behalf. If it's someone else, you'll need to enter their details at this stage.
Select Payment Method
Pay via bank transfer, credit/debit card, or e-wallet. This includes options such as Visa, Mastercard, UnionPay, and more, depending on your country.
Track Your Payment
You'll receive real-time notifications to keep you updated, and a confirmation once your funds have successfully arrived in your Blocked Account.
How Long Your Transfer Takes
Here's what to expect for each payment method.
Flywire sends your payment straight to its destination, with no extra stops along the way. A traditional SWIFT transfer, by comparison, typically passes through several banks, each one manually checking and forwarding your payment before it moves on.
Card or online payment via Flywire: Immediate booking of funds and you receive the blocking confirmation instantly.
Flywire bank transfer: 2-5 business days
International bank (SWIFT) transfer: 3-10 business days
No Hidden Fees, No Surprises
When you pay through Flywire, the amount shown upfront is the final amount you need to pay; no surprise deductions along the way. It's one of the reasons paying in your local currency is the simplest way to fund your account with confidence.
If the final amount is in a foreign currency, for example USD, make sure you make the transfer in the currency shown to avoid any conversion fees.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about funding your Blocked Account with Flywire.
Can I pay in my local currency?
Yes, with over 140 currencies supported, Flywire allows you to pay conveniently in local currency via bank transfer, card, or e-wallets, depending on the country.
What if I forgot to include my Payment ID in the bank transfer reference?
Flywire uses the Payment ID in the transfer details to help identify your payment. If you are unable to include the Payment ID or you included an incorrect Payment ID, Flywire will reference the payer details to ensure we are allocating the funds to the correct payment.
How long will it take for my funds to reach my Fintiba Blocked Account?
How long your transfer takes to reach your Fintiba Blocked Account depends on the selected payment method. If you use the card/online payment with Flywire, your funds will be booked immediately and you will receive the blocking confirmation instantly. If you do a Flywire bank transfer, it will take 2-5 business days, while an international bank (SWIFT) transfer takes 3-10 business days. With SWIFT transfers, your payment passes through several banks, and each one has to manually check and forward it, which takes time. With Flywire, once your payment reaches their network, it goes straight to its final destination, no additional stops along the way.
Can I pay using my education loan as an Indian student?
With Flywire, your bank will be able to easily disburse your education loan to a local bank account in INR. You just need to follow the instructions you’ll receive at the end of the payment process. Paying tuition fees with an education loan has never been easier!
Can I pay in Chinese Yuan from China?
Yes, from China, you will be able to pay in CNY via local bank transfer, e-wallets such as WeChat Pay and major debit/credit cards including UnionPay, Visa and Mastercard.
What supporting documents are needed for the payment from China?
You don’t require any supporting documents or verification for card payment. For bank transfers in CNY or WeChat Pay, you will need to provide an official Confirmation of Admission from your school. This serves as proof of the payment's purpose and is required to complete the necessary foreign exchange compliance review.
How do I transfer the money to my Blocked Account with Flywire?
The transfer process is very easy to follow. It's fully integrated in your Fintiba account and any documents or details you need will be shown to you exactly when you need them. Just log in, select "Start Funding," and confirm how much you're sending and who's paying. After a final review of your transfer summary and agreeing to Flywire's Terms, select "Transfer now" to head over to Flywire and finish sending your payment.
How do I make sure the full amount arrives in my Blocked Account?
This depends on how and where you're paying from. If you pay through Flywire, the amount you see is the amount that arrives, no surprises. If you select a foreign currency with a Flywire bank transfer, please ensure you make the payment in the selected currency. International bank (SWIFT) transfers can pick up extra costs along the way, such as forex conversion and intermediary bank fees, so we'd suggest sending a small buffer above the required amount just in case.
Who's allowed to make the payment for me?
Parents, spouses, siblings, grandparents, aunts, and uncles can all transfer on your behalf. The only requirement is that the funds come from a private account. Business account transfers can't be accepted.
How many transfers can I make?
We recommend sending your full amount in a single transfer. It protects you from paying too much or too little if exchange rates shift between payments, and it keeps things simple if you ever need a refund, since funds are returned to the original sending account.
What happens if my Flywire transfer runs into a problem?
If you haven't sent your payment yet, you can cancel it anytime from your Fintiba account. Just log in and we'll walk you through the process. If it's already on its way, Flywire is your first point of contact. You can reach their support team anytime via the chat icon on the Flywire payment screen. Just keep your transfer reference number on hand.
How is the amount in local currency calculated?
Flywire offers competitive rates, compared to traditional banks, with all processing fees upfront. You’ll always see the full amount before you pay, no surprises or hidden costs.
I’m an Indian student, can I pay in INR?
Yes, from India, you can pay in INR via local bank transfer, online banking directly from Flywire’s platform if you hold an account with HDFC, educational loan, and major debit/credit cards.
What supporting documents are needed for the payment from India?
You don’t need any additional documents or verification for card payments. For bank transfers, you will need to provide the payer's PAN and full name, and complete the LRS (Liberalised Remittance Scheme) declaration, which you will be able to do online directly on Flywire’s platform. You will also need to upload these 3 documents: Admission letter or tuition invoice, student's passport, payer's national ID with address (e.g., passport or Aadhaar card).
